Story Jumper

Story Jumper is an excellent new site for creating either online stories or actual hard cover copies of your book. The user interface is very simple to use and it reminds me a lot of My Story Maker. All a person has to do is select a scene (blank if you don't want to use a template) add their characters, objects, text and then publish their book.

If a person would like to get a copy of their book they can do that too starting at $24.99.

I highly recommend checking out Story Jumper by clicking here.

For another excellent review check out Larry Ferlazzo's site.

Storybird

Storybird is a new site (beta) for creating digital storybooks. This reminds me of My Story Maker/Myths and Legends w/out the animation. For example, you can create a book w/ digital art (your own or other users) then add text at the bottom of each page just as Story Maker. However, in SB you just create a "still frame/scene" and have the story progress page by page.

One aspect which concerns me is that Storybird is not filtered. This could potentially allow students to post/view inappropriate content. While SB does have the right to view anything on their site there is no official filtering policy going on, just a typical terms of service agreement.

This is still very early beta so a lot of features are not available such as printing or embedding a finished product. Although, I highly recommend giving Storybird a look as it is very easy to use and makes some nice finished products.
