Storybird is a collaborative online storytelling platform that allows users to create, read, and share stories. Users can browse artwork created by artists and write stories inspired by the images. There are different account types for regular users, teachers/classes, and kids under 13 who need parental approval. Creating an account is free, and users can then make stories by dragging artwork into pages and writing text. Stories can be saved as drafts or published for other users to read. Teachers, families, students, and teens all use Storybird as an educational, creative, and social platform.

 What is a kid's account?
Kid accounts are for members under the age of 13. By law, these members
need the approval of, and activation of, their account by a parent/guardian.
Kid accounts are the same as regular accounts with a few small differences:
1. They must be approved by a parent.
2. Email notifications are sent to an email address chosen by the parent.
3. Some artwork may be blocked based on age-appropriateness.
Kids who started on Storybird under the age of 13 but are now older than 13
can update their email addresses in their settings and take control of the
account

 How Do I Create StoryMaking stories on Storybird is easy, fast, and
fun.
To start, visit "Create" and explore the images until you find an artist that you
like.
On the art page (the single-image pages where you can make comments) or the
artist home page (where you see all the artist's images), tap the "Use this art
for..." button and the artwork will load into the editor.
In the editor, drag and drop images from the work area onto the page and use
the white space to write your story.
Use the Menu in the bottom-left corner to "Save and Close" a story that's
unfinished. Select "Publish" when you're done.
Private stories can be shared via email or codes with friends and family.
Public stories are moderated by Storyspotters. Once approved, your story will
appear on your profile, search, and the feeds of your followers. You can email
and embed public stories and share them on social networks.
A note about making stories: you'll be happier and more creative if you work
with the artwork and try to unlock its stories rather than working against the
artwork and trying to ram it into a story you've already written.

Storyspotters
All publicly-shared stories are moderated, during which time social sharing and
embeds are turned off and the stories don't appear in public search or profiles.
Once the story has been moderated and approved, the book will appear in your
profile, search, and the feeds of your followers.
However, your IRL (In Real Life) Connections can find your stories via search,
see them on your profile, read them in their feed and comment or hear them before
they're moderated. It's like a "sneak peek". Be sure to add IRL Connections in your
"Following" list.

In summary
Teachers rely on Storybird to get students from K-12 writing and
reading. Families adore it for our constant stream of stories.
Tweens and teens use it to connect with each other and express their
angst.
Storybird is one part educational platform, one part real-time publishing,
and one part social network. And it’s 100% nifty!
Good Bye!
