Kids always like to see their stories published. Tikatok is a way to do that. Books can be shared online for others to read, and they can be published into a hard copy, but the cost would be substantial for a whole class, around $11.00 /per softcover. Nonetheless, the process of creation is there and they can read their work online and it looks very professional. They also can email and share it with others.
As always, the preparing for the writing is the crucial aspect of the wiritng process. Learning how to transfer their story into the tikatok format would be hard work at first for young elementary students, but it would be exciting.
I practiced by starting a simple book. http://www.tikatok.com/view/book/learning-about-tikatok I do think it has possiblities.

Your link just takes us to the main site. This story book generator does not appear to be the most "sharing friendly" site. You have to submit your book to the library and when approved you should be able to share. See if that works.
(I think they want you to buy it more than anything).

Hi there,
Thanks for giving Tikatok a try! We have various privacy protection measures in place to ensure that those who do not want to share their books can keep them private. Sharing with your Tikatok "friends" is the default. To share your book publicly you have a couple of options. You can change the sharing settings so that it is visible to "Anyone," or you can "link or embed this book," which will create a special temporary link that will be visible for 30 days. Once you share the book in this way it will be visible to anyone, even those not signed in. Like this one:

Now that is one cool thing about blogs. You never know who is accessing and reading. You hit Tikatok radar and got a comment from them! Awesome.
Hi Joanne,
I haven't registered with Tikatok yet but looks great and sounds great. Thanks for the site.
Not only have I been contacted with postings, but I also received an email. A bit scary....
