Tikatok™ is where kids transform their imaginations into stories – and publish those stories into books.

The books actually "flip" or turn pages- really cool. Project saved online. Then students, teachers or parents can purchase a hard bound copy if they choose.
Students can view their books online. I am going to research to see if it can be downloaded or converted to a wmv file or Flash.
