A teacher asked me the other day if I knew a free web application for making the students stories appear online. So I started to research and came to iBooks Author. This has now opened up a flood of ideas into my small and spongy brain.
We have just bought some ipads to use in the school library, their main purpose to be used for iBooks. So why not utilise the ipads and publish the children's stories direct to iBooks and thus the iPads?
It seems like a simple process.
It is using the latest technology.
The parents will be able to access their children's stories.
The stories can be shared.
The stories should look great AND have the ability to be interactive.
This idea has potential!
So, I'm thinking that the children could combine their stories onto an iBook of short stories, publish it on iBooks and make it available as a free download.
If you have done anything like this before, I'd love to hear about your results.
On the same theme, I have shared this idea with a colleague who loves to write philosophical literature. He has toyed with the idea of publishing on his own blog or on facebook. I think this looks like a fantastic way of unsigned and budding authors to get their work out into the world.
