Description: Students can create a story and add photos/illustrations.

Hints/Tips:
  • The story is only stored on the specific device it is created on. Students wil need the same iPod/iPad the next time to continue working on their story.
  • There are a few stories built in you can read or edit.
  • You can use the camera to take pictures for your story. Have students illustrate on paper, then take a photo of it.
