Story Creator 2 for Teachers
If you wish to review and approve your pupils' work then you will need to:
Register your school
Once you have been approved (can take up to 5 days) you can review their work.
Log in to the Teachers Administration Area and either add pupil accounts (under Manage Users) or ask your pupils to sign up and select your school from the school list. Once this is done, when pupils submit stories they will go to you for review and publication.

This section provides access to a range of resources created or recommended by teachers for use in lessons. These have been categorised in to 'general resources'; i.e. those that could be used with any of the myths and legends within this site, and resources specific to a particular myth or legend. There is also an opportunity for you to add your own resources to share with other teachers.

Information is available for the Story Creator here, including the school registration form and teachers' admin section.

You can also find information on the following topics:
