School Librarian Saturday: My Storymaker

*UPDATE* Sadly, this site ran on Flash and is no longer usable on most browsers 🙁

In School Librarian Saturday, I’m going to share the websites, databases, apps, and other stuff I use with students in my K-3 teacher-librarian role, under the cover of internet darkness (see: the weekend).

Today we have a website that allows students to create a story, called My Storymaker.

What It Is: A site created by the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh that allows users to create a story using a variety of options for character, action, and setting.

What’s Good About It: It walks users through the story creation process and allows students to save or print their creations.

What’s Bad About It: The site hasn’t been updated for a while and it runs on Flash, so I’m worried its days might be numbered.

Last Words: I introduce this to students in second grade and it’s a website that students love and return to.
