Book Creation



Janell Cannon ePub

Reflection - I enjoyed using the Book Creator app and I know that students will, too. We do author studies in second grade story time. The book that I created sums up many of the facts that students learn about an author and shows images of book covers that we have in our library. I would like to continue to create biographies of authors that students can review using iBooks. 
     Our fourth graders complete state reports each year. It would be fun to write the report in Book Creator and then share the books so that others, including parents, can browse all of the publications. 
     All of our grade levels write stories throughout the year, often coming to the computer lab to publish their projects. Using Book Creator, they could publish books with their own pictures, photos, or images found on the Internet. The books could then be published so that students in other classes and grades can enjoy the narratives. In the SAMR model, I would consider this to be augmentation because the technology is replacing the traditional method but is improved because of the ability to share it.
