If you are looking for a new website that offers students the opportunity to create their own stories, you may want to check out this site, Little Bird Tales. What I love most about this site is the ability to narrate the stories. Each page of the book can be read by the author! The website also allows students to create their own drawings right on the site or upload a picture of their choosing. There are no ads on the site and it is quite visually appealing! What a great way to reinforce reading and writing skills!
Once the book is completed, it is saved within your account and you can go back and edit the story, delete it, or enter email addresses with which to share the finished product. A link is sent for the audience to view the book. It plays as a video showing each page along with the narration...pretty cool deal, but I would love to see an embed code added to the offerings. Check it out...one more great tool for digital storytelling.

Hi!
I just wanted you to know there is an embed code for each tale! After creating and saving a story, you can access the code when it's in playback mode. Just click on the "get story codes" button below the text area to access it!
Also, we are currently testing our first "teacher feature" which will allow teachers to set up sub accounts for each student under one email address. Students will then be able to use their own accounts in a computer lab setting or from home (you can send them home with Little Bird Tales homework!).
Next in the pipeline will be the ability to download MP4s of your tales for viewing on your iPad, iPod or other MP3 player, or to make your own DVDs with!
Thanks so much for writing about our site!

Thanks so much for the information! I have been showing this website to several of my teachers and the idea of capturing those sweet voices will be a treasure for years to come! The possibility of sound file download is exciting. Thanks for creating such a valuable tool!
