Story Jumper : a tool for creating online ebooks and stories

This interesting tutorial can help you start using this free tool, Story Jumper.





Some nice examples of what learners and also writers can do:


Book titled 'Puggy visits the Moon'Read this book made on StoryJumper
Book titled 'Shelter Souls'Read this book made on StoryJumper


I think the app can be used to work on writing skills  with  lower -intermediate level students but also for creative writing  tasks.  It is a pity that books cannot be  downloaded but we can share them.

I will try the app to present some tasks for my first year students in secondary school.

Fake text messages and other apps for teaching writing skills


You can get your learners engaged by  simply using some free webtools which will help them create fake textmessages.

Here you can find some examples , once you have worked online you can download the text of  what you have created.

You can choose IPhone and  Android text messages:

This tool enables you to work online and to share the link of the conversation. You can also save it and  thanks to a password you can modify it.
Here is the embedded conversation  of what I have  just  created online
The link is  https://www.classtools.net/SMS/51_ECdAQZ







I will try to use these tools with my learners this year.

Ready to go!
