African Storybook Project #1: New stories added to the African Storybook Project website

I love the African Storybook project website http://www.africanstorybook.org/. For a couple of years I was involved in the discussions around creating it and I also ran online courses in digital storytelling for teachers wanting to create stories with their classes. This week the African Storybook Project sent out a newsflash showing their most recent story updates. I have displayed them below with links to their spot on the website.

Have you visited http://www.africanstorybook.org/, the home of the African Storybook Project (ASP)? It is a truly amazing, local website.  The stories, which are all for the younger grades,  can be read on site or downloaded to print and use. Their current collection of Featured Stories on the website home page is a great reflection of the ASP's growth and diversity after just one year in existence. The aim of the African Storybook Project is to provide Creative Commons-licensed stories for the children of Africa in all the local African languages as well as the languages of wider communication used on our continent.
