Thing # 18

Lulu.com caught my eye because of the book publishing capabilities. In the past, I have helped 5th graders write and “publish” their own books. The students loved it. It is a great way to get them to write. Creating and publishing a book online develops word processing skills along with the writing skills. There is a tab for Teachers and Students in the “Publish” category. There are several different options to choose from to publish a book. The Aspiring Authors program allows students to create their own book and have it published in print. The first copy is sent to the student free of charge. The published books can also be sold as a fundraiser project. You can also create comic books and yearbooks through Lulu. I requested more information on the Aspiring Authors program and will pass on the information to the teachers when I get it. This looks like so much fun. Check-out Lulu.com.
