Community Review for Storyline Online
My Take
I like that you can just go in and choose a book and go. I also like the possibilities of building a lesson with a book. The ONLY downfall with this site is that the videos are housed on a 3rd party site and are blocked in my district. We can override the system, but students cannot do so independently.
How I Use It
I have used this site to support author studies with a full class. I have also used it in small groups to support read-to-me during literacy block.
