Click on the Storylineonline link and check out the site.
One strategy that can be used with online books is to have your students select a book at their level, and then do a Retell, Relate, and Reflect or Text to Text, Text to Self, and Text to World entry on the blog.
Brainstorm another strategy on how you could possibly use online books with your students!

I'm just learning to post. I haven't read the article.
I'll have to investigate this site at home. Tried several times and couldn't open it here. Liz
So sad, no Adobe Flash!!!
I'll look at home.
Students can reflect on their reading by writing a response.
You could use online books, and possibly incorporate blogging as well, to do literature circles in the classroom, or virtually.
If the book being read can be projected on a wider screen, it could read to the students
I may use reading books online during my reading period in language. I am wondering just if I can do that in my classroom with a 3 combined grades.

This is another great site for levelled books and links to ReadingAtoZ.com. All the books are levelled and have options such as to read or just listen.

My class is currently making audiobooks using the audacity software. Storyline, Tumblebooks, etc, could be a great resource to introduce audiobooks, discover the attributes of an effective oral reading, fluency, etc.

I listened to Enemy Pie. I was never bullied as a kid, but I can certainly relate to the way that cooking with someone can bring you closer together. Just try saying mad at someone you need to share a kitchen with.
I wish that this site had a feature that allowed kids to comment on the specific story they listened to, as opposed to inserting a comment on the website as a whole.
I'm sure you could use this site to help get literature circles started in younger grades, where reading the text independently might be an issue for some.
I read the story 'Sophie's Masterpiece'.
it was wonderful. I loved the visuals, obviously a great site for visual learners.
I will use this site as a great tool for my low readers. This is excellent.
Students can individually listen to the stories online. After reading students can complete a think/pair/share with a peer and discuss how the reader read with expression. As well as discuss the connections they each made to their stories, and if they can connect to each others stories.
Strategies:
- They could read a few of the books online and compare/contrast the themes/ characters etc.
- They could do an author study, and read books written by the same author. They could then search that author online and comment/blog about the book they liked best.

Why not analyse a number of the stories on storyline online (features of "text"), and then post to the blog their own stories - complete with "reading for an audience" expression, intonation, sound effects, etc?

The video can trancated into small sections so that discussions can be used, and students can have a better understanding of the story.

Storyline is really a good activity for small kids.

I listened to Guji Guji. It was great.
How would I use this site:
1. students can practice reading the text and then listening to each other
2. students can listen first then read along to build fluency
3. this can be the listening centre for more students in the class
4. students can vote for their favourite books after listening to all the stories. They can also discuss why they liked that one the best
5. students can recommend and review the books for each other

The online story conceit is an excellent way of connecting with both the auditory and visual learners in your community. A possible stumbling block is that the stories themselves may not directly relate to your particular subject. However, this does not sufficiently deter or take away from the invariable power of this pedagogical strategy.
Love bless!

I teach in a secondary library. One way to have students read, retell and reflect using a blog would be to create a blog,post a link to the Media Awareness Network (specifically to the section that teaches students how to critically evaluate a web site). Have students read the information and then use the criteria to evaluate a web site (link to this web site also provided on blog). Students then write a breif summary using the read, retell and reflect categories.

- Have students create new ending online or artwork to illustrate favorite section
-Create a dialogue between 2 characters discusssing their role in the story and how they feel about how the author created them
