Storybird is so interesting. This site has many possibilities. Although the storybook I created would be more for the younger child. There is the potential to enhance learning via engagement and reciprocal teaching. One possibility could be to get older students to analyse all the pictures available to them under one theme, ask them to create a story to go with the pictures that will teach a younger student something of use. This would also encompass the higher order level of thinking required in Blooms Taxonomy of comprehension, analysis and synthesis.
So even though at first I was only thinking of this as a technology for younger grades, once I started thinking laterally the options are endless.
