There are so so many ways for people to present information, so many web based sites and apps. It is almost difficult to know where to begin. Well, this site focuses on only web based tools that one can use from any computer or device, so that makes it a wee bit easier. Here are a few places to begin learning about sharing writing, photos, original art, or art provided by a site. Some allow you to record your voice and some allow for reader/listener comments. Knowing and feeling comfortable with just one or two of these is a great place to start.

With Storybird, writers choose artwork and choose to write poetry (one image), a picture book (many images) or a chapter book (many images). The pictures inspire the writing, and it is very simple to get started with writing a Storybird. Users can also read Storybirds written by others, and receive comments and hearts.

Learn about and sign up for little bird tales HERE
"Little Bird Tales encourages imagination and creativity, while honing important language skills. Children can create their own pages using artwork, photographs, text and spoken word, resulting in a book like no other. The result is not only a work that can be shared with multiple individuals, but the world, if you choose to have your story published to our public library.
Our goal is to provide a creative, fun and safe web environment for children, free of advertising, pop ups and links to other sites. We want to make sure children are not exposed to 3rd party ads, merchandising, and other fluff prevalent on most children's websites. All our public stories are filtered through moderators so your child isn't exposed to anything questionable."
