Easy to use picture book creation tool

Storyjumper is incredibly easy for teachers to implement, especially since it syncs with Google Classroom, which we are already using in our district. The students can easily navigate with the tools, and teachers like being able to see students working in real time. It has been a hit with the teachers on my campus from Kindergarten all the way to 5th grade.

Overall, I think that this is a really great source of student creativity. While the pricing could be problematic (as it costs approximately 8 dollars just to download your creation) and further disparities in education, I believe that just sharing the link to student stories would be sufficient for self expression. Not only can students choose from auto-generated characters and scenes, but they can mix and match different features and looks to create the object of their imagination. I do think that there could be a few more options for hair and other features to be more inclusive—all students deserve to be represented in literature, including the stories that they create themselves. The collaboration feature is really helpful, as it promotes students' to work together on a single concept. This encourages avid discussion and enriches learning.

I really liked this website. It was fun to play around with all of the different creative options the website had to offer. There were even templates for stories to make it easier to use. For a classroom assignment, it would be great to use in a writing section of class when writing personal narratives, narratives or even how to books. Students are able to be creative with it and also practice their writing skills and even publish the book if they choose to.
