For my cool tool review, I found an app called Story Creator - Easy Story Book Maker for Kids. First, this had pretty good ratings as well as many features. You can scribble a page, upload a picture, add a video, and even add your own voice.
I made a little story of random pictures from this summer and I found it quite easy to use. I could have my students use their parents phones or tablet and make a little book of either drawings or take pictures or recordings of what they did this weekend. The only downside is that it is only accessible on a tablet or phone. It may be a little difficult for them to use alone, so they would have to get help from someone older, which is fine because it is something they could easily do with a parent or guardian. It just makes class a little more fun and exciting. I can show a number of students' book once every week at the beginning of class and it also helps with creativity. It wouldn't take up a lot of time and it would give a chance for a student to present their book to the class and tell about their weekend or about something new they learned. Students, especially young ones, are always wanting to talk about their weekend or what they did the night before so this gives them time to get it out of the way and be able to implement creativity and new information. As a teacher, I could also use this during the day for a project or lesson. Students can take pictures or talk about what they learned that day and make it into a digital book and take it home with them on a tablet or email it to their parents. Since they have access to it at home they can review and easily go back over it at home.
