Ideas to use storyjumper in the class

Story Jumper

This web site is excellent  for teachers and students (story bird and zoo burst too) because they can be very creative while using it. An aspect that teachers can take advantage of is that you can upload and use pictures from your computer. So, a good idea is to use this site to create stories or works using your own pictures taken by you. 

Here it is my task:

First of all, go to this link, here you will find a work that teachers can use to teach the topic: "basic descriptions". This task is for beginners and a good idea to present this topic in a creative way: 

http://www.storyjumper.com/book/index/13996322/Basic-Descriptions

You will see that I used my own photos that I personally took. You will also notice that there are the instructions of a practice for the students.

I would use this to teach this topic and then I would tell the students to take photos in any place they want (their house, a park, the street...) and using this program (story jumper) create something unique. They have to upload their photos and add their descriptions.

This activity is appropriate for beginners because it only involves simple sentences in present, basic adjectives and objects. 

This activity can be applied to intermediate students using more challenging pictures like landscapes or places. 

More ideas:

Students can create stories using photos that they took. Also, you as a teacher can present different topics with photos you took too. Besides the example I already present, you can also teach the topics "parts of the house", "food", "family", "art" and any topic in which you can involve real photos.
