Book Creator can be thought of as a 21st century copybook. Copybooks typically allow students to demonstrate their learning in two ways: writing and drawing. An eBook allows for this plus a host of other forms of expression:
-
Input text
-
Create drawings (and draw on photos)
-
Record audio
-
Record a video
-
Use photos, maps, diagrams etc. sourced online
-
Templates (comics, teacher designed)
-
Real-time collaboration
