Do you still use the traditional teaching skills in your classroom, like
text-books, handout and paper materials? Would you like to try the different
learning approach for your students? Try to use the photo stories or comic
strips with technology which makes your classroom more interesting and

strips with the ready-make characters, scenes and music. Also, it is an
animated movie, so students will be attracted by the colorful scenes and dynamic

communication classroom. The teacher can ask students to create their own stories

Have you ever use such a Digital tool to tell a story in the second language
classroom? Let's take a look how wonderful this great Digital tool is. We are
going to take a trip in Taiwan to explore the beautiful scenery and visit the
famous spot sites. Are you nervous? Let's go!!!!
This is my story book Let's take a trip to
Taiwan.which was created by bookr. Bookr is a tool to
create and share your own photobook. Teachers can create their photobook, like
mine "Let's
take a trip to Taiwan" or they can focus on one topic, such as
shopping, movie, travel, and entertainment. In the second language learning
class, the teacher can show the picture with some vocabularies and sentences so
students will feel interesting and they can connect the vocabularies with the
pictures easily. It is a quite easy photobook making machine. The teacher can
also teach students how to create their phtobook and it can be one of their
assignment.
For example, when the spring break or summer vacation is coming,
the teacher can ask students to add some photo that they visit or some places
that they want to go. Students will try to look up the vocabularies that relate
to their pictures through this assignment. They can share with other classmates
and they can also learn the new words from other people. It is a really
interesting language learning styles, right? Why do you start to make your own
photobook for your classroom? Have FUN!!
