Story Bird

I really liked this website and can think of so many great applications!  I especially liked the option to add a collaborator.  This function could allow two or more students to blend their ideas together and create a unique finished story.  One thing that I found a bit frustrating was that I couldn't choose from a variety of illustrations after choosing the initial image - I only had the option to choose from the images Storybird had as suggested images.  I understand the concept is to let the image drive the direction of the story, but I had wanted to write a story related to weather initially.  I found several great images on the first page, but once I made my choice to begin with one image there were only one or two "weather related" images that appeared within the story.
