Storybird

I came across the Storybird site as I was reading through the multiple web tools listed on CogDogRoo. I immediately thought it to be a fun site and decided that I would give it a test. Storybird offers many pictures that you can create a story to. What makes it a little challenging is that you must pick only one group of pictures by one artist and formulate a story out of what is offered.
I have posted my "Storybird" below. I must be honest and say that I have never tried to write a children's story, but attempted to do so in the hopes that I would become practiced in using this website.

Hello everyone, I recently switched from Wordpress to Blogger, as I was having issues with embedding materials. I have previously used Wordpress and never ran into these issues, though I decided not waste anymore time on it so that I could commit all of my time to the actual course material!
I brought over my previous post from Wordpress, and displayed it here. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused!
Looking forward to sharing

Hello everyone! Like many of my classmates, I am not sure as to exactly what the theme of my blog posts is going to be. I am leaning towards writing about my family, and some of the fonder memories I have with them. This would entail holiday gatherings, which are a bit different in my family than others, family trips and vacations, and some of my memories with family that may be simple but precious all the same.

I am also looking forward to reading everyone’s blogs, as we don’t have the pleasure of getting to know one another in a class room setting. Although I feel as though these blog assignments will provide just as intimate, if not even more so due to the amount of personal sharing we are allowed to do here.
