Book Creator is the Best Ever and You Should Try It

Students learn more when they create something to demonstrate their learning.

With the Book Creator app (on all iPads on our cart), your students can create from a blank slate or from a template.

Click on the following linked words to see some adorable things my daughter has done with Book Creator:

Students can show their skills in reading, writing, or art.  They can document science experiments or life experiences.  They can organize research to make a final product that is pleasing to the eye.  

This tool is ideal for K-6.  Mrs. Tongen's Kindergarteners have already created their first books!  (Click here to see them.)

Notify Beth if you are interested in trying Book Creator in your classroom.  I can help by creating a content-related template for all your students to edit, coming in to introduce the tool (and conduct follow-up lessons adding to their skill set), and being there to assist during your class period.
