One of Del Siegle's ideas at our 2013 conference was to have kids create eBooks which can be sent (via email) to their Grandma and Grandpa. Now you've got a "real audience" that will motivate the kids to do their best work.

eBooks apps & websites come in different styles that work for various ages:

- the oldest kids may prefer free-form ebooks to unleash their creativity
