Sharing Stories with StoryMap
December 12, 2022
If you are looking for a different way for students to share their knowledge, we found a cool site for you! StoryMap is a schnazzy way for kids to tell a story or share their research without spending a ton of time playing with extras. This site can be used in many different content areas and most students 4th grade on up can create!
StoryMap
StoryMap lets you choose the look of the map you want to create and it is suggested to keep you story or research in a fairly centrally located area. Unlike Google Earth Projects, this gives you the option to upload your own map. So, students could create their own location and then upload a picture of something their drew. Then add their own pictures and writing to the story.
You can also use the traditional maps or watercolor maps to share research of an area or family vacation. Once created, you can click the preview button to see what you have created and then share with others! There are all kinds of uses for this site and it is very user friendly. They also have cool examples that show you all the different ways you could use this site.
This is one of many projects created by the Knight Lab created by Northwestern University. This is a very cool resource to let you students dig into!
Have a great week!
