In order to take advantage of
technology, we did a quick researching related some technological tools before
class. As usual, we would be focused on education tool and its functions; that
is to say, we had researching important data related to terms like Zooburst and
StoryJumper, among others. Ahead on time, I found some clues with the purpose
of developing my class-work in a good way or at least this was my main aim. Bearing
this in mind, I decided to learn on the scratch because my future is waiting for
me.
Let us consider what the advantages
and disadvantage of these tools. First of all, we have Zooburst and its main features.
Description about this:
- It is a digital story telling tool that allows anyone's to create their own 3D pop-up books
- Also, Books can be shared to anyone using a hyperlink
- Apart from this, authors can moderate discussions providing the readers to interact with each other.
- At least but not last, it can create a story code that can be scanned and direct someone right to your book.
Let us to take into account some pros and cons of it.
Pros
- Good for all ages.
- Incorporates technology
- Allows for all types of creativity
- Interesting to students and keeps their attention
- For schools, multiple licensure packages
Cons
- Premium accounts for teachers cost money.
- Can be time consuming.
- Unless you have a premium account, overall quality of the program is not as useful for students and teachers.
To be honest, I cannot open this tool; in other words, I can not use it. I do not know what the cause was? Just I can not do nothing with this tool. That`s a shame! I would like to see more about it; maybe, it was a technical problem. Anyway, I will ahve better luck next time.
This is a interesting tutorial related to the use of Zooburst. Keep that in mind!

As a future teacher, how can I use StoryJumper in the classroom?
Well, StoryJumper is a great way
for teachers to jump start Creative Writing lesson plans:
Promote
writing & literacy
Students could create stories
about them, using amazing images, so teachers should encourage through
instructions and examples.
Rich, colorful art library
This tool has a huge art library, which is stocked
with thousands of full-color props and scenes, including everything from simple
shapes to complex mythological animals and characters. A impotant point is that learners could mix and match
scenes and share their books with each other.
One of the most striking feature of this tool is that students can also draw
their own pictures by hand, and then scan and upload them to their own story.
You can also compile the pictures yourself for a class compilation. The
completed stories can be shared for free online or ordered as hardcover,
paperback, or downloadable books.
