Digital Storytelling is a great way for teachers or students to share with others through pictures, text, narrations and/or music. There are a variety of products that can be used to create stories. Photostory3 is a computer program that is free and can be used on VCS computers. It is a simple way to create short stories. If you want to use web based programs, animoto, storybird or goanimate are ways teachers or students can create without being tied to a specific computer. Most programs can use images you already have or images you get from the internet. Stories can be created for all content areas either to explain in a lesson or tell what you know.
When looking at storybird, the only concern that comes to mind is that you must have your text match with the images that are on that site. For some, that may be too difficult when creating. I would use that as a group project where several can work together to create something. Then after that, students may be more comfortable creating on their own.
