The Difference in "Free" Student Publishing Online Applications
As an Ed Tech teacher and now coordinator, I'm always looking for student publishing tools. The problem is that those that say they are "free" typically don't have the functionality needed in the "free" version. With this in mind, I am reviewing a few "free" online publishing applications.
FlipSnack
I created a test book and got all the way to the end, only to find out the embed option was not part of the free tools. I created this book in google, downloaded it as a PDF and then uploaded it to FlipSnack.
You can view it here, but I can't embed it. http://snack.to/f1nlbfin
Simplebooklet
I used the same PDF and was able to get an embed code. Unfortunately, with the free version there will be advertisements on the page. I like this better than FlipSnack because I can continue to add pages.
Issuu
Issuu's been around for a long time. Again, you need to create a PDF first and then upload. You do have the opportunity to make the ads "kid friendly."
