[|www.zooburst.com] Zooburst is an amazing web 2.0 tool that allows students to create their own 3-D pop-up books. I choose this tool because I think it would be highly engaging for students while encouraging higher level writing skills. Students can create a story using pop-up characters and voice bubbles. For a higher subscription students can even record voices for their characters in their story. The site offers many characters, settings, and props so students would have no problem creating a creative story. = = = How I would use this Web 2.0 Tool = =
 * To teach story elements: character, setting, problem, and solutions
 * To have students demonstrate understanding of a lesson through a story. IE: Water cycle, branches of govenment, etc.
 * For students to use their imagination and writing skillls to create their own stories.

What about diverse learners? Diverse learners would benefit from Zooburst because the stories can be created at a very simplistic/basic level or as advanced as needed. You chose the number of characters, backgrounds, and text to input.
