Abstract

Many children excel in writing, while other students finding writing to be very challenging and shy away from it. However, almost every child has a vivid imagination and likes to make up stories. Most students also like to use computer and other technology. Imagine for a moment combining imagination, technology, and writing together. Now, you have a combination that most students would be excited about. In the Arizona State University's OKI Literacy and Technology Project we have combined these aspects together and have come up with a winning combination. This combination allows students to write creatively and create their own book, create their own pictures, and then print it out on a color printer. This project allows the teacher to capture all students with a fun and education project, while at the same time increasing literacy skills.
