For the A1 assignment, I created a video to go through a reading platform: Fiction Express.
Fiction Express is a platform that offers innovative online fiction for students to read. The highlights of this platform are that it connects the professional authors and readers through online voting. The readers can vote on where the story goes in the next chapter, increasing the interests and enabling a sense of participation for the students. My school has been using it for almost a year as the reading platform for our 20-mins reading section every day. Students from all levels could find books that they like. However, the platform should keep working on their tracking system. The good thing is, the founder is very open to suggestions. If you like it, give it a try, ask for a trial account.
Note: All the students name appears in the video are alias.
