Tikatok+(Creating+Books)

“Tikatok is an online program that allows users to create books and have them printed in a professional like style.

Tikatok is free to sign up. Tikatok is nice for teachers. You can create an account and then create "classes" in your account and add your students. As your students are writing and illustrating their books you can view their work in progress.

Tikatok is easy to use. Alll you do is click create a book. Tikatok will give you a storyspark option. This gives the writer ideas on how to get started and suggestions on follow-up pages. The students can write what they want and even upload pictures or even their very own drawings. The books can be purchased in hardcover, paperback or down loaded digitally. Teachers can buy in bulk for their class and get a educator discount.

I use this for my child development class. They have to create a children's book and then read it to the class. Some other great ideas for projects are an alphabet book for younger kids, journals for english, poetry books, and for creative writing purposes. I have had a few students buy the hardcovers and the quality is superior!”
