Tikatok was the last 2.0 tool that I researched. I really love the idea behind this. At tikatok you are able to create classroom books and have them printed. They have individual program but the classroom program seems to be a great fit for teachers. There is no cost to run the program so basically students create a story, type in the words and then upload their pictures onto each page. Then you the teacher have to choice of how you want to print the work. The bulk rate for printed hardcover books starts at $7.00 and goes up. They do have a PDF option for $2.99. So there is a costed with this. They did have a link about grants but I did not check that out yet but that would be a great option if funds are not available. What a great way to get students excited about literacy. I think this would be a great educational tool. Each student would be able to create their own page and then learn about the editing, publishing and printing of a book. I am going to talk with my K team and see if we can make this happen. If a grant is available what a neat thing to do to surprise families for Christmas or the end of the year.
