Description: Online interactive story writer. Makes it easy for students to create an adventure story where as someone is reading there are choices along the way.

Use in Education: Students can write stories online that are interactive. Doing so helps provide engagement. It could also possibly be used for planning an essay or making part of an essay interactive. It allows readers to make choices along the way. For example, at certain parts in the story the reader can choose to go one way or another.

Reducing Barriers: The tool provides a VISUAL stimulus (pictures can be added) while allowing students to convey their thoughts in a different format. It is somewhat KINESTHETIC as the student gets to choose how much interaction is needed while reading the story. It could be made very complicated which is engaging for those writers who are advanced.

Age Requirements: None. Sign-up with e-mail is however required.
