We anticipate that this workshop will integrate issues from two of the four sub-themes of the conference, namely:
Saide’s African Storybook (ASb) Maker App is a free app which is downloadable from Google Play or the App Store onto a phone or tablet.
With the help of the African Storybook Guide to Creating storybooks with Children, teachers can support and encourage the children they teach, to create their own picture storybooks offline and publish them when they have an internet connection.
There are 250 story pictures preloaded on the Maker App, mostly sets of four to eight pictures from storybooks published on the African Storybook website. With teachers’ support, children can use these pictures to develop short and simple stories. Teachers can also refer children to the App pictures to create their own drawings which they can then use to create storybooks. They can also help children to combine their own pictures and App pictures to create their storybooks.
