\"4-reasons-to-publish\"<\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Workshop is a magical time in the primary grades. There are students all over the classroom. They\u2019re standing, sitting, wobbling, or laying on their bellies relaxed. They\u2019re thinking, sketching, writing, reading, sharing with partners, adding details, and more. Everyone is at different stages in their writing, and our iPads are in use. Infusing Writer\u2019s Workshop with the creative possibilities of the iPad is powerful. They\u2019re used to plan and publish our stories in many ways, however, our favorite has to be publishing our writing as videos. Here are just a few reasons why your students should too.<\/p>\n

Collaboration<\/h1>\n

I always start the year with a few collaborative writing projects. It\u2019s a great way to teach iPad publishing skills while building and creating community. Sometimes each student makes a page in Book Creator App<\/a> and then we combine them. Book Creator lets us publish as an eBook and a video. We usually do both, but the video is the easiest to share!<\/p>\n

Other times, we work on creating a book together. Social stories are especially great subject matter! Collaboration gives everyone in the room ownership over the finished product. This collaboration then turns into an excellent tools for when they need a reminder about different social subjects.<\/p>\n
