Book Creator

This assignment is from my teacher Mrs. Kallas. Click here to view her blog.

The web tool or app I chose to use is Book Creator.
Book Creator is an app for iPads and can easily be accessed over school wifi.

Here is a tutorial on how to use Book Creator:




The app:

With this app there is no account necessary to join, so it's perfect for students of all ages. If a teacher would like to have their students make one book, then there is a free version available. The free version of the book, however, while allowing you to use all the functions of the paid version, will only let you make one book. The paid version of the book is $4.99. There are no in-app purchases and no age restrictions. You will get all of the tools you use with the paid version when using the free version, but you will only be able to make one book instead of as many as you want.




Classroom Use:

Book Creator is the perfect way for kids to make a project or book report. 
For instance if my class had just learned about plants, then they could make a book about what they learned and then present it to the class.
In upper levels you could have the students make a presentation in a way that they would then use the book to teach the class on a subject they choose.
If a teacher only had one iPad or didn't believe their students could handle the responsibility, they could make their own book on the app to introduce a new topic instead of spending extra money on buying one.
