Week 9- Twitter StoryKit

If you are an ESL teacher this is a must app you need to have, it's called StoryKit, with this app you can create a storybook. I really like this app because is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and it was designed it by researches at the University of Maryland.  This is what mobile technology can offer to todays system education, me as developer/instructional specialist I’m looking forward to build solution for real world problems. I know there is a huge need out there for apps that can make both teachers and students life easier, improve student learning goals, enhance collaboration and make a more effective learning environment. As educators we can use apps like this one to get started using tablets with your students. There are so many ways to use this app, it’s simple enough for most first graders though to catch quickly and be fairly independent using it. You can always use the drawing pad to illustrate your story, use pictures, hook it up to a projector and start collaborating with your students.
