I'm a little slow to figure out new technology, but once I use it a few times I'm usually pretty good at navigating my way around. The first time I used zooburst I struggled with all of the options and how to manipulate objects in the book (figuring out how to delete an item once I put it in the book seemed to take forever!) Unfortunately, zooburst is so new that they don't offer a good tutorial on their website (they say it's coming though) so I played with it a lot in order to figure out all the options. I still haven't figured out how to use the augmented reality part, so I'll work on that next. I know my students will need time to play and figure it out as well (although probably much less time than I did) At any rate, I decided to create a tutorial for questions that I foresee students asking while learning how to create stories on zooburst. My hope is that it will be helpful to students as they begin the process of creating digital stories while simultaneously limiting 'teacher trouble shooting' time. I also hope this document is useful to those of you who would like to start using zooburst to create digital stories in your classes. We will start our stories soon! Excited!
