1. Breif reviews about the tools
: Storybird.com let us make a new e-book that anywhere exist at all. It is a very useful tool for creative activities. Teachers can choose the pictures and characters that they want to put in a new story including class materials. Also, it is able to make short and long story they want. It has also artwork tags, so that teachers are easy to access the certain subjects or characters.
: Domo Animate is a extremely aninated tool. Teachers can make cartoons first and it also available like short video. Instead of reading the cartoon, we can create a new cartoon video via Domo Animate. It has lots of fuctions such as background music, zooming, fading out etc,. Learners will enjoy wathcing this and creating by themselves as well. Also, all characters has various looks so creators have lots of options to make.
2. How could these tools be used by teachers and students?
: If teachers want to make new materials for their students, these kind of tools would be the best since teachers' creativity can come out through the outcomes. For storytelling books or cartoon making tools, teachers can create short stories that includes their teaching target language rules(e.g: grammar rules and conversation etc,.). Students also can create their own stories including the lamguage skills that they've learnt. It will be much fun instead of just doing the solving problems or take tests. Teachers can use this tool as their classes' assignments and students can create and present in front of peers or can share their work all together.
3. How could they be incorporated into a class?
: In my opinion, it will take much time to create these works using various tools. Giving as an assignment for reviewing the class would be better. Students can create their own works without time-pressure with a variety of ideas and thoughts. After collecting the students' work, teacher can produce a cartoon book(printed) or a long video-clip for their class and share with other classes or learners outside of the class.
