Tikatok:

We think this tool is great because it allows you to create a printed copy of a book that you make yourself. It caters to many different interests and is appropriate for any age. This tool could be difficult for users who are visually impaired because they do not offer a braille version; they also do not include read-alouds. We would rate Tikatok as a 4.

Funny Times:

This tool is set as a cartoon playground for children, so it is highly interactive while allowing users to explore different modes of humor through the writing process. Funny Times bring fun to learning, which is the best tool for engaging children in the writing process, while still being easily navigable. On a negative note, children could focus too much on the cartoons and not enough on the writing process. We would also rate Funny Times as a 4.
