Penguin Story Finally a Success

If you read my last post you would notice that I was frustrated because I couldn't write my penguin story in StoryBird, however I have found a different tool that will allow me to write exactly what I want and it's even better!!  Its called Little Bird Tales http://littlebirdtales.com/tales/sendTale/story_id/1084/ . This is better because it allows you to upload any pictures you want for the story or you can draw them using the paint tool that is embedded into the program. Then you can type your story into the picture. This isn't even the best part, you can also record your voice! So I have decided that I am going to do a little research and then finish my story about Penguins. I am going to draw all of my pictures using the paint, type the story under the pictures and then record myself reading the story. I will share this with the first and second grade teacher I am working with. My hope that she will want to create a story with her class allowing each student or groups of students to make a page in the story.

This tool is awesome, however I do not think it is always free. I was able to sign up for a free version, but I am not sure how long it lasts I wasn't able to check this out. Nevertheless, I am so happy that I found a way to write a penguin story with my one sentences, my own painted pictures, and my own recorded voice. YEAH!
