Day Ten


Work period!! a day to finish our e-book using Book Creator.

While walking to Patterson Hall, Rachel and I talked about our strategy for today, “Not to over think it!”

Feeling a little less stress and with our plan in tow, Rachel opened Book Creator and got right to work. I think we both realized at this moment it was going to be a very good day! She quickly finished her page….now it was my turn.

On Friday, we had decided to alternate our pages throughout the book, so when one was creating their page, the other could be planning their page and uploading images to Air Drop.

“Ahhhh! Air Drop” …. Even though it caused me moments of frustration today, because I forgot how it worked, and how to share images so that I could retrieve them on the iPad. For this ole’ dinosaur, I think this might be one of the most useful things I have learned since purchasing my MacBook.

Once I was able to share my images…. We busily created page after page adding images, adding sound, videos, and links, before we knew it we had completed our e-book...

After using Book Creator, I think it is an app most teachers and students would really enjoy; This app allows students to illustrate their learning through creativity. For example, at NSCC all students must have a portfolio before they can graduate, the students could use Book Creator to create their portfolio’s instead of the traditional binders or occasional webpage.

I can’t wait to share this app with my colleagues, some may already know about it, but I can think of a few who might not and will love to hear about it.
