Storybird

[Susan Stephenson, the Book Chook]

There are many definitions of digital storytelling.

As a writer and teacher, I find myself entranced with the possibilities inherent in such applications, which make it accessible for kids to tap into their own stories and present them to an audience. 

One of my favourite web apps is Storybird. It's truly easy to use, and provides access to images created by illustrators. There's lots of support and it's fun. I wrote about it on my blog last year.

Anyone else have a favourite digital storytelling app, software or resource?
