Thanks to the very cute illustrations by Irisz Agocs. Here is my first ever attempt at Storybird creation. The story can be viewed if you click the title on top of the cover image. I have set the story as Publicly Published; hence, hopefully you should be able to read it. Haven't quite figure out the embedding part. I will try to work on that in the future.
Haha, due to the word limit, I can't have my Sunflower tell you all the story. I think multimedia in the classroom is great. It encourages children's creativity and their engagement. Some kids may find it difficult to operate at first as there are some certain steps and processes that need to be followed. However, that's why as future teachers, we need to start 'playing' around these technos NOW and to let the kids be impressed when we get into our teaching career! On the other hand, as these sites can be viewable to the public, we need to make sure that we teach the kids as well as ourselves about cybersafety matters. For instance, don't make a Storybird and suddenly it tells all about yourself like when you do a presentation of About Me in the classroom - the Internet is not the same as your classroom.
