ADVANTAGES

StoryJumper is an easy to use picture book creation tool that has a great variety of background scenes and props. The props can be re-sized, rotated, and copied, but they can not be edited in any other way. StoryJumper allows the users to add personal photos as props and scenes, with limited editing capabilities because you can only crop the pictures. it is a cool way to make memorable stories that happen in the classroom by using photos of the children and teachers. There are several options for text box designs. It is easy to create student accounts to use in class, but if you want students to use the program at home it requires a permission slip with class code or parents creating an account themselves.

Once there was a tree....  

and she loved a little boy.  

And everyday the boy would come  

and he would gather her leaves 

and make them into crowns and play king of the forest. 

He would climb up her trunk 

and swing from her branches

and eat apples. 

And they would play hide-and-go-seek. 

And when he was tired, he would sleep in her shade. 

And the boy loved the tree.... very much. And the tree was happy. 

But time went by. And the boy grew older. 

And the tree was often alone.  

Then one day the boy came to the tree and the tree said, "Come, Boy, come and climb up my trunk and swing from my branches and eat apples and play in my shade and be happy." "I am too big to climb and play" said the boy. "I want to buy things and have fun. I want some money?" "I'm sorry," said the tree, "but I have no money. I have only leaves and apples. Take my apples, Boy, and sell them in the city. Then you will have money and you will be happy." 

And so the boy climbed up the tree and gathered her apples and carried them away.  

And the tree was happy.
