Bookr---Make your own online book!


         I made a simple story using Bookr above. It is really an interesting and user-friendly online software. Users can make a book by adding pictures and descriptions on Bookr, then it will automatically produce an online book for you.
        This software is very easy to use, therefore we can introduce it to our students for practicing both speaking and writing. For example, they can make their stories on it, so they can learn how to produce an narrative text in writing. It can also be used to produce a descriptive text, such as introducing families. Within pictures, these traditional practices become more vivid and more creative.
        It can also be used in practicing speaking. For example, a student can make a book on Bookr and present it to the whole class. He may not write description for each picture but just show it to class, and let his classmates guess the story,after that he tells the whole story. So both the presenter and the other students have opportunities to practice speaking.
       In sum, Bookr is really an amazing technology tool which can be applied in teaching to make the class and the learning process more interesting and creative.

  1. Your idea of having the students present the pictures in their book and having students guess the story sounds very intriguing.
