Little Bird Tales

In the past few days, I’ve mentioned briefly about digital storytelling, a great source in language learning/teaching process.

Now I am going to introduce a digital storytelling tool which is pretty good.

Little Bird Tales is a digital storytelling tool which is simple and easy to use both for kids and adults. It fosters creativity in learners. A great source for learners of all ages, even for the ones who can not read or write because it allows you to record your voice! So easy to get learners exited and involved. For that matter, it is a good way to practice language! And for the teachers it allows you to create a class and assign a lesson to your class. Also, there is an excellent app for mobile learning (available only for IOS).

So easy to create your tale!

After logging in (you can try it for free for 21 days!) you click on the ‘Create a Tale’ option on the homepage. You’ll go to the edit page. First enter the title and the author of your tale. Then create your cover page. You can draw it, import an image from your galleries, or upload a photo/image from your computer. Next record your voice to the title page and click ‘save’ (you can see the edited pages in the page list to the right). Follow the same process for the adding pages with a single difference: add your text. To watch your tale, click on the preview button. If you want to share it with someone, go to your homepage and click on the ‘My Tales’ button. Find your tale and choose the ‘share’ option in the pull-down menu. It’s that simple! Here is a cute example. 

You can repeat the same process to create lessons. There are so many lesson templates for grades K-6. You can choose one or create your own lesson.

It can be implemented in hundred ways … You or your students can use Little Bird Tales;

-to share vacation photos,

-to create digital stories,

-to create interactive lessons,

-to give presentations,

-to conduct interviews,

-to send an e-card

-to create how-to videos

-to practice reading (poetry, story, new, etc.)

-to prepare class projects, and so on…

It’s totally up to your imagination...
