Book Creator

Are you looking for an interactive learning environment for students to show their learning? Do you need a way for students to publish their writing online? Book Creator is so much more than just creating traditional “books” as we know them. In this 2 credit graduate-level course, you will create a book on Book Creator to use as a mentor text for students to show their learning. You will also create a template for students to work from in order to produce their learning in an interactive and different way. We will cover purposeful technology, planning a book, creating a new book, adding media, interactive elements, accessibility features, and publishing books online for authentic audiences. This 30 hour course is hands-on and differentiated to allow you to walk away with a template and example for students to show their learning in a way that works best for them. Your kids will not be disappointed!

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. Recognize the purpose of the interactive learning system.
2. Assess and establish a purpose for their online classroom book and template.
3. Determine the layout design for their book.
4. Construct a new Book Creator book that will benefit their class and students by creating a template where students can use the outline to self-reflect and track their own learning.
5. Produce a text box and format the text, add a background, and add shapes to design the pages.
6. Select media to enhance their instruction and accessibility (audio, image, links, embedded content, and/or video).
7. Construct and publish a mentor text to assess the teachers’ learning. The mentor text will also act as a template for students to assess their own learning and expectations.
