Today was our second day to explore and work on Assignment #3 using Book Creator. The more I use this app the more ideas I get and the more I want to play around with it. Here are the top ten ways I can see myself using Book Creator starting right in September.
1) Daily News Book (pulling daily news together to make a monthly news book)
2) Showing student work during parent/teacher
3) Creating memoirs or portfolios of student learning.
4) For showing students exemplars for writing projects
5) Publishing student choice writing books
6) Developing ABC or number books
7) Social stories
8) Creating books to teach students about other cultures (Filling in the gaps where we are lacking print resources)
9) Creating interactive Big Books for on the Smart board.
10) Making an "I am special because" book featuring students pictures and voices.
I wonder how many iPad's I can get if I forgo my photocopying budget?
I loved these! I especially liked your #8, creating books about other cultures; you're SO right that we lack resources! I feel like I deal with that lack all the time in my classes. It would be great to make personalized, interactive books to respond to that need.
ReplyDeleteI bet you could get a whole class set if every teacher gave up photocopying. The costs to that technology are staggering!...and the product they spit out are so inaccessible to so many students:)
