I explored storybird, adobe spark, and Animoto. All of these seemed like great tools that can be used in the classroom. Storybird seemed very similar to a google classroom with pre-made lesson ands you have the ability to assign lessons to students through google classroom. Also, use of a lot of visuals were used in Storybird making it more students friendly. I love that students have choice to make poems or long stories and the pictures are right there for you. It would be great to use as a summative assessment to show their writing skills.
Also, I loved how adobe spark and animoto had many options for students to do as well. Students can portray their knowledge through pictures and words. I plan on using these as group activities to teach other students about a topic. It is a huge plus that the picture are embed in the website that the students can use, but they can also upload some of their own. These activities are very engaging and the students will love doing their work on the computer.
Storybird is such a great tool. I think you need to share the password for your class to let me have access though. No need to bother with it, if you don't want to. Adobe Spark is a great tool for students too.
