3rd Grade Digital Narratives

Third graders created their own digital narratives in a web tool called Little Bird Tales.  Students had to bring in three of their favorite things from home and then write about them.  They needed to tell about the item, where its kept, where they got it, and why it was important to them.  Students then took pictures with and of their items.  These pictures were uploaded to Little Bird Tales and students used their writing to narrate the digital story.  The results of the project are below:

More on Little Bird Tales:  "Little Bird Tales was created to help nurture children's creativity and imagination while simultaneously creating one of-a-kind digital stories that can easily be shared. We strive to foster a love for reading, writing, self-expression and creative technology and to make the process easy and fun for students and teachers.

Little Bird Lessons has opened up new possibilities in the classroom, giving educators and students a truly interactive experience with options like listening to verbal instructions, voice recording/verbal response, drawing, importing images, and writing using a keyboard. With hundreds of ready-made lessons offered, teachers will have more time to focus on teaching.

We are dedicated to providing a safe web environment for children, free of advertising, merchandising and links to other sites and we are proud to support the environment by providing parents and teachers with "green" alternatives to how they collaborate, share and distribute stories and lessons."
