Day Nine

Today was all about learning “Book Creator.” an app used to create story e-books which can be upload to iBook for others to read, or just share with friends.

Students could use this app to create a storybook of their own, they can upload their own images or pictures, create a voice-over recording using their own voice, add videos - ones they have created or their favourite YouTube videos. Starting from the design the student is in control of how their book appears either as a storybook or a comic strip, etc.  Just another great way for students to show what they have learned!

Our task was to create a book based on the curriculum we teach. I was fortunate to pair up with Rachel who is quite proficient when it comes to using an iPad, and has an aptitude for apps. On the other hand, since I haven’t used an iPad before this class struggled with the navigation…All I can say, “Is thank goodness for Rachel’s patience”

At the end of class on Friday we were both a bit concerned as we had only create six pages in all with 14 more to go and only two hours on Monday to work on this. However, after talking with Barb we felt a little less stressed as she assured us we were on the right path! 

Despite how slow I was at the beginning, as I became familiar with the app I started to think about all of the possibilities this app offers. A definite option, in a few of my classes especially organizational behaviour and marketing, for students when presenting their assignments.

Another app…. another great learning day!
