How to use this resource: 2Create a Story is a program where students have the ability to write a story as well as to illustrate it. It is a simple and straight forward program that uses big icons on buttons to guide students on what to do. This program would be perfect for writing narratives. Students can hand write a draft of a story before using the program to write and illustrate their story.
Review: 2Create a Story is a fantastic option to write and draw a storybook. Student can have fun with experimenting with drawing, using different colours and editing their story. Students will also have the opportunity to practice their touch typing skills in a fun way.
I’ve had a look at this program and it looks fantastic. Very easy for students to use and very effective. I will definitely be using this program in my classroom.
“2Create a Story” looks like a fun and interactive way to create a final assessment piece. If I was using this in a classroom I would likely use it with a younger age group. This could also have a Cross-Curricula link with Art as it allows you to upload your own images to use. I hope to one day use this in a classroom.
What a great activity! This would be an easy digital resource to implement in the classroom.
