Books


 * What are Digital Books? **

Basically books that can be formatted online. Kids can create their own books online and then embed them into their own online publishing spaces

There are many different types of online digital books.

My students have all had success creating books online using [|www.tikatok.com]  You will need to create an account before you begin (it's free)

 Tikatok allows educators to set up a single account and assign each of their students to this account. This is fine if you  are intending to use the website to create books, **but it won't allow you to share them through embedding etc.**

In order to allow students to share their books via their online publishing spaces, you will need them to create their own separate accounts. By law, students need to be 13 years or older in order to do this. If you teach primary students you  will need parental permission.

The website itself is geared mainly towards younger students, although having said that, my Yr 8 students really enjoyed  publishing some of their poetry using this format.
