StoryKit

StoryKit is a free App available from iTunes that I recently introduced to a third grade class.  It allows students to create their own digital storybooks by adding text, drawing pictures, importing photos, and creating sound effects.  The student's story is saved within the app but can also be shared via email. 

In addition to students creating their own electronic books, there are four books pre-loaded into the app:  The Three Little Pigs, The Three Bears, Humpty Dumpty, and The Rocket Book.  These books can simply be read as eBooks, or they can be rewritten and rearranged to create all new stories.  This feature is great for teaching sequencing!  While the pre-loaded stories lend themselves to students in lower elementary grades, the app can easily be used by older students and even teachers to generate their own projects and/or content.  This might be a fun way to incorporate journaling?  Give it a try, the price is right, and I think you will love it!
