What is Storybird?
What is Storybird?
Storybird is a great tool for creating a digital storytelling. It is like an animated version of PowerPoint. No need to worry about your lack of ability in drawing pictures. You can create a visual storytelling by using one of prepared group of arts. You just need to drag a picture from the side to a page and add a matching story.
Before creating a story you need to sign up first. Create an easy username and password. Students can create their own page on their blog and add links after they finish making their stories.
Wonderful tool for both teaching and learning language
Storybird is a wonderful tool for teaching language. The teachers can assign students to read some stories from the great number of collections. Or ask them to write their own stories by using pictures from the art gallery. It is really easy to create a story. Choose your object before you publish your story.
Here is the story I created in a class.

What is Prezi?
What is Prezi?
Prezi is a presentation software which is widely used in school and in business world lately. It is a great tool to teach languages for teachers as well. I love Prezi more than PowerPoint because it makes our presentation more lively and fascinating to my audience in a class.
How to start?
To get to start Prezi you need to create your Prezi account, simply by using an email adress and PIN cord and you can create your idea on a page. To show details on a page by zooming in or out. To show path by adding arrows or highlighting words. You can add photos, videos, and documents or import PPT files for use. There are numbers of great formats which we can download for free from Prezi. Many tutorial videos on YouTube help us to make a great presentation as well.Here is the link of Prezi tutorials on YouTube
