Community reviews for Awesome Stories

I like because so cool to use it

AwesomeStories is a great teaching tool. It makes it possible for every student to stay on task. If a student needed to miss class, it was easy to make up the assignment at home. I posted assignments on my classroom blog, and created an AwesomeStories page for easy access. The content on AwesomeStories is current and constantly updated. There are a variety of teaching tools are available for educators to use.

This is a wonderful teaching tool that I could not live without. I have had students create stories, complete specific learning tasks aligned with the standards, research a topic of their choice, and use this site as a way to access primary documents. I like that there are so many resources (videos, images, text, audio, website links, etc.) available on the site for free.

AwesomeStories is unique from other platforms because it allows for student creativity, higher-level thinking, and authentic learning--all of which are valuable 21st Century skills that will be necessary for their success in the real world.

This is a really good tool. There is a lot that is free, but I found the Gold package well worth it because it saved me time in finding and applying lessons that were unique and held the student interest. I could use the stories to relate to current movies, events, or have them research historical events in a non-threatening manner. What I liked most was the fact that I could flip the lessons and we could discuss the information on class to expand the lesson. My favorite feature was the calendar that I checked daily to create sponge activities for my students. They could read the material in a short time and yet there was enough to do critical thinking extensions. The students really liked the site and always, I mean always, went on there own to read those stories that interested them. Check with your school administrator to help pay for the Gold package,
