My first Storify assignment: Student work

I assigned my students to create a Storify discussing the impact World War II had on four social groups: Japanese-Americans, African-Americans, Native-Americans, and women.  Storify is a type of presentation tool.  You can embed pictures, websites, video, and audio into a Storify.  It's free and easy-to-use.

The first student project just came in (submitted through Google Classroom).  It looks terrific!  Click here to see it.  And click here to see the assignment sheet I gave my students, and the list of online resources they were to use.

My First Storify Assignment

I just completed my first Storify assignment.

Storify creates online presentations.  It's great because it is free, easy to use, and the presentations you make look terrific.  To make your Storify you simply

• Write your headline (the topic of your presentation)
• Write a description of your headline
• Add content.  The content can be from anything you can find on the web, so you can include material from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Once you assemble your content, you can introduce, explain, and describe the content in text boxes.

The assignment that I wrote for my students concerns the social impact of World War II on four social groups (Japanese-Americans, African-Americans, Native-Americans, and Women).  You can read my assignment here.
