Zooburst.com
A Review


This is a program that lets users create virtual 3D pop-up books. It's user-friendly, incredibly fun, and fosters creativity. I believe it's a great addition to any elementary school class. First, users must create an account. They can then begin their book. They must add a title and description of their book. Then, they can change the colors of the book page and background. They can search for pictures and add them to their book. After that, they can move the pictures around, resize them, alter the angles, and add "dialogue" for the pictures. They can also add text to describe the whole page. When the users have added all the pictures and text to their book, they can save it and view the finished product. The pages can be changed by clicking the arrows on the side and the dialogue can be read by clicking on the blue speech bubbles with exclamation points in them. You can view my book by clicking the link here!

The best features of the application are:
  • Variety of pictures.
  • Ability to change colors on the page.
  • Ability for students to be creative and imaginative. 
This program is best used by individuals. This way, the students can make their own books and express themselves. It's very rewarding for them to have their own projects. 

ZooBurst is very motivating and inspirational for students. This program is very good for young people to use. They can be creative and also work on their writing skills. It's especially useful for teaching literature. Children can write stories about whatever they want, add images, and express their writing in a more exciting way besides just on paper and pen. A teacher can assign a project with this application, such as write a creative story, write a memoir, write about a historical event, or many other activities. It can be used in the classroom many times for a variety of different reasons. The stories can also be printed. It would be very fun for the students to be able to show their creations to their parents. I think this would be best for elementary schools.
