I think this might be an opportunity for professional development with both google and the common core standards which the English department recently adopted. (The HS English teachers were emailed about it)

Mini lessons digital storytelling technology education

Growing up with unprecedented access to technology has changed the way young people, "digital natives," communicate, interact, process information, and learn (Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005; Prensky, 2001a, 2001b). Thus, many new teachers entering 21st century classrooms are digital natives teaching digital natives (Prensky, 2001a). Lei's (2009) study of a group of digital native preservice teachers suggests that, although future teachers may hold strong positive beliefs about technology and may be proficient with a variety of software applications, they may be unable to translate this knowledge to their teaching.

"Tell us how you are going to explore content formats that already exist on Twitter - short story in tweets, a Twitter chat, live-tweeting - or, even better, how you'll create a new one," says the call for ideas. "How will you work with our real-time global platform, where anyone can contribute to your story at any moment? The proposal must fit into the time window of our five-day festival - but that means that a project could run for the length of the festival, or just for an hour."

A way kids/teachers could make money from their writing...more info at the site A new initiative from Amazon called Kindle Worlds, introduced yesterday, is offering fanfic authors a cut of the sales when their works are published through the program.
