Storybird is a service that uses collaborative storytelling to connect kids and families. It allows users to share stories privately or publicly and have the final product printed, viewed online, or shared in a global library. Storybird was created to reconnect families through old traditions like reading together or playing games. It promotes imagination, literacy, and self-confidence in a safe online environment without chat features or public profiles. Users can have regular, teacher, or student accounts to manage classes, students, and assigned work. The basic steps are to register, sign in, customize your account, find existing stories, create new stories, invite collaborators, take turns adding to the story, and publish it.
