Hi everyone! It has been long time since I wrote my last post. Now I am here to introduce an amazing website that enables students to create their own story and the storybook. And also students can read stories that other people shared on the website. It is called Storyjumper. Me and my dear friend Hüsna Uzun presented this website in our classroom. And now, I will talk about it for you.
This website was designed to create stories with visuals. It is very simple to use it. We also tried to create a story with my friend to try the tool and it was very enjoyable experience for us.
Lets look how it works step by step,
Here is the main page;
You need to enter your name in the little box and you should choose the gender. Then, click the "Make book" button" and go on.
After, you will see a page like this.
According to your own story you can choose suitable background image by clicking the "scenes" button and also you can upload your own photos. After choosing the background image then it is time to choose characters. By clicking "Props" button you will find a lot of props.
And you can flip, rotate, move or delete them completely. And it's time to add texts to your storybook. You will see the "Text" button at very top of the page.
After finishing up the story then you can decide on the color of the back cover and front cover page of your book. Finally your book is ready!
Now lets talk about how we use this website as an effective tool for students in language classroom.
Firstly as a teacher you can ask students to create their own story or create one of their favorite story on Storyjumper. Or you can ask them to make up a story concerns the that day's lesson topic for example about Tenses, Modals, etc. By doing so, they can reinforce the topic by themselves. This tool helps students to enhance their ability to think creatively. And they can improve their vocabulary knowledge also. For me the most important benefit of this tool is that students learn in an entertaining way.
