Student+Publishing



Student Publishing is a tool that I have used mostly in my special education class. The students in my class love it when we do this project. This allows students to write short stories and add images and have them published. The students always come up with great stories that can either be fiction or true. When they login, they get a blank format that lets you add text. Then you can upload images on them. Many students bring in pictures from home and we scan them and upload them into their book. Once the students finish their books, the teacher submits them, and they are published on nice color paper and sent to the school.



The website is very easy to use. There are different sections that let students and teachers create accounts. There are links that let you read about the creators of the site, check out resources and reviews, look at previous students books, lets you practice by doing a trial run making title pages; just to name a few links. You can even work on it for a while, save your progress and continue at a later time. The links and tasks are very easy to read and control. This makes it very useful for special education students who are trying to find a comfort zone using the computer. It is also great for elementary students who are just learning the use the computer.

It is always a fun day when the books arrive at school. All of the students want to read eachother's books. Some students even give their books to friends or family members for presents. I think that this is a great tool for students to show their creativism in writing and designing while using technology at the same time.
