Well, I try to learn something new everyday. Today it was using tikatok.com to make a children's book. I'm all for using this venue to enhance literacy. Nationwide Publishing has a resource called Studentreasures that facilitates student authors. That old school option would be a great precursor to using Tikatok. It has lessons plans and shows teachers how to integrate usage across the curriculum.
Often, student creativity had taken a back seat to preparing for State tests. Tikatok and Studentreasures are resources that make learning real, useful and fun.

I think it is a good idea to strive to learn something new every day. I am sure for any resources that emphasize reading. Reading is so important in learning of all other things we need to know and to grow.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to trying Tikatok with my daughter, she is always writing stories and plays. Now she will be able to see results. Love your book
