Book Creator
Access through ClassLink.
Book Creator is an online content creation platform that lets students create and narrate eBooks with a wide range of powerful tools. Book Creator can be used in every subject and every grade level right across the curriculum.There’s a special magic about seeing your own creation come to life before your eyes. It drives off-the-scale engagement and motivation. This is the key to lasting authentic learning – creation over consumption, developing future-ready skills such as collaboration and communication.
To get started, open your CISD ClassLink account. Teachers, if you don't have the Book Creator app, you can add the app by clicking the + button in the top left and searching for Book Creator. If your students do not see the app, you can put in a HelpDesk ticket to have it added to their ClassLink page.
Open the app through ClassLink. Then create a free account. You will need to select your CISD Google account the first time. You'll then see your homepage and be ready to create a library to share with students to guide them in making awesome digital books!
Book Creator allows teachers & students to create 40 books with their free account, and an unlimited number of books with their paid yearly subscription. The subscription goes on sale, so be sure to keep an eye out for that.
Use an "All About Me" book template at the start of the year for students to get to know each other.
Create nonfiction books using research done by students.
Create a class ABC book with content area vocabulary where each student gets to do a page.
Books can be shared among students, families and the world with the teacher in full control of the sharing and privacy settings.
