The Uber Author Program



For this next year I will be focusing on engaging book production. Its not about creating more work or a special book making assignment but rather providing the student time in regular computer time to produce a book created from one of their finest efforts for the year in a printable form to be added to the local library collection in the uberauthor section.

I am looking for school-wide involvement in this that hopefully become a yearly thing for each student to have the opportunity to produce a work!

Creating a story, templating with teachers! Student's learn best by seeing a physical sample. Here is your opportunity to create a book. We will be using book share to do so. I know teachers are pretty busy creatures ... I have often wondered how it is we encourage students to write but we ourselves can't find the time to model this practice as well. Busy, busy, busy!
