Book Creator

My daughter is a creative genius. She has more ideas swimming around in her head than the average person, and she is constantly looking for ways to get them recorded. There are notebooks, journals, binders, and random scraps of paper littering my house with her stories recorded. This is great, but it's also a mess. I introduced her to Book Creator so we could start recording some of her work digitally. Now she can write to her heart's content, and I don't have to to feel guilty getting rid of her excessive manuscripts.

Book Creator

Book creator a is a free tool for educators to use on Chrome. I think there is an iPad app as well.  Students create digital books by writing a story using text boxes. They then add images. They can import from the camera or the web, or they can create and draw their own in the program using shape and pencil features. Students can have their book read aloud to them and they can record themselves reading the book aloud. Finished books can be published to the web with codes to send home to parents, saved as E-books, or printed. 

Teachers get one free library that holds 40 books. Once you fill your library, you can archive that one and you get another free library with another 40 books.
