Community Review for Storyline Online
My Take
This site is wonderful for a change of pace, to introduce a unit, or when you need a couple of minutes to get things in order. A few of the names are not as notable to students, but the stories remain popular.
How I Use It
This site is wonderful for read alouds. The books are read and slightly animated in a way that brings them to life for students. My 3 year-old and my third graders all ask for stories read from Storyline.
