Create Amazing Picture Story Books Online with Bookr
What is it: Bookr Is a tool to create picture story books using images from Flickr. Simply find images from Flickr through their search engine located on the same screen as the book editor. It is extremely simple to use and would be a better option for junior school students as you can not add large amounts of text to each page. No sign up required. Very Simple to use.
The finished books are presented as animated flash Files that look great on an interactive white board.
How can I use this in the classroom? Show your your students the layout of bookr and how to search for images. read them a picture story book and explain to them that the pictures tell a large amount of the actual story and emphasise that words should be used with a minimalist approach.
Also talk to your students about the best placement of text.
find a theme or topic that your students will have a large range of photos of and are comfortable in writing about. A perfect example would be "A day at the Zoo."
I would love hear from anyone else who has tried Bookr. Check it out here.

This looks fun! I'll have to try it out. It seems like students could do focused projects like introducing their hometowns (or even more specifically, their favorite restaurants or something), and topics could be chosen to target certain language patterns. Nice find.
And I love the blog overall. :) I'll have to add it to my blogroll tomorrow, when I'm awake!
