Language learners can show their creativity and learning by making a digital book. With web tools and apps, students can add multimedia, audio, video, and their own images to make their written stories come to life. Creating these books improves their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Below are our some free web tools and apps your students will enjoy using to create and learn with digital books.
