~ Gistory App Review ~

     Helloooo everybody, today I'm introducing to you an application called ''Gistory''. Gistory is an app that you can create your own stories to teach spesific topics. It is not only for grammar but also for reading comprehension and listening skills. You can also create ''decision-based'' stories or just normal activities.

     There are three different story examples. Two of them are in English (one of them is activity to teach simple present tense and the other one is a story.) and the other one is in Spanish ( so I could not have the chance to check it.)

You can see the story examples

from the page in which a youtube video is added.

     Let's talk about ''Around the World in 80 days'' example. It's a story that you make progress with your decisions. So its giving you the opportunity of selecting is amazing. Also videos are added to the story so students also benefit from the videos as it is something both visual and aural. Besides, you can highlight the words or sentences to explain something. It is something very useful because as teachers, we can teach important words or daily life expressions.

What do I like and dislike about ''Gistory'' ?

   

↜

1. The impact of the digital in our modern world is undeniable so that kind of apps which students can use in the class are always welcomed for me.
2. I believe that rather than creating stories for students, making them create stories also may help them to broaden their creative minds.
3. When colors, images, videos are used in education, students can learn better and increase their proficiency. That's one of the reasons that I like about this application.
4. Also it can also be useful for attendance.

1.  First problem about Gistory for now is: adding chunks. If this technical problem can be solved, it will be perfect for me to create a story. 
2.   The other problem is: you can not share your gistory. I am not sure if it's related to the gistory creation problem. If it is..I will update this post.

    

•  Thanks for looking at the review. I hope it's a good one. If I could, for the next post I will post my own Gistory story :) Soo keep in touch until next post. See you :))
