Reflection: I think that storybird is a resource that unlocks the inner artist in all its users. I think the artwork is inspirational and I
can think of many ways to use this resource in any age classroom. I love the idea of using creation to assess understanding. I
want my students to express to me what they have learned through their own interpretations. I think that storybird is an easy
enough program that students will be able to enhance their learning with the use of technology. This tool does impact my Tpack:
It enhances my technology circle and makes it overlap with my content circle more. I feel like the more technological tools I have
to teach the concepts I want to teach the better.
