Learning in the Lou

Experience the Amazing Story Builder! It won't let me embed but you really have to check out this story created by Doug and Colin .  This might just energize some of your students to explore writing in a new way. Do you remember this from the Google commercials? They featured Hall and Oates writing one of their famous songs.

Google Story Builder Have you seen that commercial of Hall and Oates as they worked on the lyrics of a song?  It was like you could see inside their minds as they edited the song to get it just right. This site will do just that.   Watch the samples they have and let you mind wander. How might this be used in the classroom? A retelling of a historical event? An argument between two historical figures? Book trailer? How the story unfolds from a few points of view? Solving some problem? How multiple parties attempt to construct a solution?  The application of this site is endless.  How might you use this with your class?
