Little+Bird+Tales



Review by Heidi Gascon
 * Little Bird Tales **

Little Bird Tales is a storytelling website and app. This Web 2.0 tool allows the user to make a digital story book with multiple pages using either photographs and drawings. Voice narration can be added to personalize each page. When the story is complete, it can be shared with others either by email or embedding.
 * Overview **

This tool is fun and easy to use. Using this tool can make a story come to life! It can be accessed through the web or via ipad app. Stories can be shared easily with others. When a story is complete, email sharing is a click away. The embed code is also easily accessed.
 * Strengths **

Most of the weaknesses are technical aspects of the program. There is no way to move text once it has been added to a page and it is difficult to manipulate the drawing tool at times. While you can create digital books with the ipad, finalized stories which are emailed and embedded cannot be viewed from the ipad because of the missing flash plug in. This app has a $2.99 fee.
 * Weaknesses **


 * Classroom Uses **
