Boom Writer

Posted on 08:05 by Unknown
Boom Writer is one of my favorite Web 2.0 site and is a very innovative way to integrate technology into a curriculum.  This is done by having a class grades 3-8 create a digital story through an online competition in a safe environment.  Students create chapters and then vote on which chapters should be included in the finished product.  Once a book is completed it can then be published and a copy can be ordered.  Right now BW offers a free class copy for new teachers that sign up.

Best of all there is an educational portal for Boom Writer which allows teachers to create student accounts.

I highly recommend checking out Boom Writer by clicking here!!!
