Storybird is a wonderful tool to motivate students to write and create stories. The wide variety of pictures allows students to create different kind of stories according to their needs and ideas. It can be used for any level as there´s no restrictions as for the length of writing. Students can also work collaboratively or on their own. It could also be used to create a classroom library with all the students productions. I found this tool user-friendly so go ahead and give it a try!!!.

Google Drawings

Google drawings is a useful tool that allows us to create, collaborate and work together in different kind of diagrams. It has a set of flow-chart symbols and shapes that we can drag and drop and even customize. We can also insert pictures, embed links, use different fonts, colours and many more things. The activities you prepare using Google drawings can look motivating, inviting and professional. Let`s give it a try!!! This is one I have created for students so that each of them can describe a film they have just seen and recommend it to others.

Voicethread

Voicethread was a challenging tool because although it is very nice when it´s finished, it takes time preparing it. You have to choose the pictures, record your voice and you can also add music, upload pictures and many more. The final result is great but I found it time consumig so you better think well what you are going to prepare so that you can use it many times. !!!!! Students can prepare their own to make presentations and projects and share with the class. My voicethread is about The Beatles as I was working with students with a unit about The Musical World!! Students liked it a lot!!
