We split the class in half this day, so I could work with half the class in the creation of their pages. To introduce Book Creator I showed the students some of the features, but for the most part allowed them to create however they wanted. Some groups chose to use the video they created in 30 Hands and others chose to start from scratch.
Each group had access to the graphic organizer they created to help guide them along the way. They had to include some sort of visual and include the definition of their word. These were really the only parameters we had set for the students. After they created their pages in Book Creator, the students sent their files to be stored in our class Dropbox account. Dropbox and Book Creator play together quite nicely. Storing your pages in Dropbox allows you to open the pages/books right in Book Creator and then combine the pages all into one book. Learned this feature by participating with another class in a global iBook project created by Mrs. Wideen's students.
Check out the links below to PDF versions of the books.
Clink the links below on your Apple device, if you have iBooks installed. This will open up to an interactive version of our iBooks.
