"Creating an eBook online is no rocket science and anyone with the rudimentary knowledge of how to use internet can get his/her eBook up and viral in a couple of minutes provided the content part of it is already written in a word document. I find the typing and editing part the most difficult stage in this process; however, if you just want to set up a short ebook for your students then that would not take you much time.

You need to have an understanding of user experience and narrative.

Mc Million about storytelling: "As an interactive storyteller, you need to have an understanding of user experience, design and coding, but most importantly you have to understand what makes a strong narrative. [...] So while it’s helpful to understand the technology, it’s essential to understand how stories are consumed, generated, shared, repurposed and controlled by online audiences. I think it’s important for an interactive storyteller to give up a level of control and work with your team to discuss the number of ways a story should and could be told.

Isn't it time that we hire mindful people as teachers? That we rely more on computer programmes for the academic part? That these mindful teachers will at last have quality interactions with our children. Teachers are not needed anymore for climate change lessons; computer programmes can do that, they are badly needed though for raising the children level of counciousness and kindness.
