I've been looking for a fun and engaging app for students to create projects that don't involve PowerPoint or writing a paper. Book Creator allows students to create their projects in a book form. The user is able to upload photos from their camera roll, take photos, hand write text, add text and even add sound. After the user is finished with their book, he/she can Open it in iBooks and share with the class. My daughter's class just created a hard cover book. It would be fun to let the students create a digital book as well (plus it's free for parents then :)
As a technology integration specialist, I think this app is very engaging. The app is also able to be turned in to Schoology, if you are using that as your LMS. The teacher is able to look through the book and grade it, then have the students upload their book for their peers to download and enjoy.
The program creates an .ePub file that can be shared. Students can send the file home, keep in their iBooks, etc.
Ways to integrate Book Creator:
- About Me iBook
- Biography iBook
- Book Reviews
- Life Cycle
- Water Cycle
- History Timeline but in a book format
- Math problems
- History lessons
- Art Portfolio
- Student Portfolio
- Books for your students created by teacher
- Anything you can think of!
I'd love to hear if your teachers are using Book Creator in their classes. Comment below!
