My Take
Just when I though Book Creator could not get any better, they come along and find ways to be more accessible for students. From audio and video creation to drawing and selecting from 120+ languages, Book Creator continues to be a space where students can nurture their content creation skills and share their stories. Whether creating an individualized book or working collaboratively with their classroom peers or their global ones, Book creator is a tool that students have a plethora of options for creation and several ways to share their final products with their peers and parents. Building relationships, demonstrating new knowledge, and amplifying counter-narratives are just a few of the ways Book Creator can be utilized with all learners regardless of language, ability, or idea.
How I Use It
I use Book Creator with my TK-5 students. We have used this tool when learning and sharing about Digital Citizenship concepts we are exploring and discussing. Using a template I created, students had the ability to remix a book, read the information, process their learning by adding text, images, drawings, audio, and video recording to various pages, and apply their newfound knowledge using all the tools. My students especially enjoyed creating collaborative books to share and learn about each other, further solidifying relationships in our classroom and with their global peers.
