Sinarmas World Academy (SWA) is very proud to announce that 9 year old Keily Setiawan in Grade 4 at SWA, became one of the world's youngest published authors with the release of her picture story iBook ‘Chen Chen Goes to Space’ in 32 iTunes stores worldwide on Saturday, April 28.
Apple's new software ‘iBooks Author’, launched in January 2012, along with third party Apps including ‘Book Creator’ that Keily used to produce her iBook, are providing powerful new tools to today's youth and their teachers, to enable them to author sophisticated multimedia books and distribute them to a worldwide audience.
Teacher Jane Ross, one of SWA's team of Apple Distinguished Educators, was one of a select group of teachers in Asia to be invited to advanced training in the new software, in Bangkok recently. Since then, she has introduced it to teachers and students at SWA, which has opened a floodgate of excitement, enthusiasm and writing!
