Mixbook

**Mixbook is a program designed to allow students to take pictures and add them to a pre-formated program which will create a working book for them. To be honest I had my doubts that this program was easy enough to be used by students who were in the middle school. The example I created was a general sample to see how easy it was for me to use. The data on it is random but is related to education in various forms. After working with this program I think that it is a great program which could be used in the classroom to illustrate reading ideas. I think if we all students to photograph events and then write stories based on it then we would be able to create a greater interest in reading and creativity.**

I think that Mixbook is a good program. I think that there could be some problems in providing every student with an e-mail address which is required to build one. I also, think a con of the program could be having to purchase one for final use. I think that not all students could afford it and it is not exactly fair. A thrid con of this program is that not all students will have permission to place photos online. A pro of this program is that it will allow students to share thier works just by bringing up the link. It will also allow students to expand their project at a later time when they have gathered enough information to do so. After trying both Mixbook and Story Board I have to say that Story Board is a far better program and would incoporate it in my class before Mixbook.
