PicLits was really very easy to use with students last week. They had great fun exploring and combining the words and photos. We used a class login and there were no issues at all. I just made sure I changed the password after the session.

Here are some of the results.

PicLits.com is a creative writing site that matches beautiful images with carefully selected keywords in order to inspire you. The object is to put the right words in the right place and the right order to capture the essence, story, and meaning of the picture.

The PicLits site is a great resource for inspiring children and adults to write. It lends itself to use in a whole number of settings. As an stimulus for regular habitual writing, as a whole class or individually, it offers both inspiration and a framework for writing success. Used at the whiteboard as a part of shared writing task, grammar can seamlessly be integrated  into a session as the useful word-bank ideas are categorised into the different parts of speech.  Individuals will love choosing photos to write about and apply their literacy learning in a meaningful way.

It can then be embedded into a blog or learning platform gallery.

It’s so intuitive that the only instruction I would give is to create an account and get going! A brilliant tool to have at your fingertips.
