Publishing Using Digital Books

Welcome to the CHALLENGE section of this Book Study!

In this first challenge you will explore a new tool to publish your very own digital book (or the start of one). We are going to learn and use Book Creator! There are two parts to this challenge. The first part you will create your own account. The second will have you participating in a collaborative comic book.

Take a minute to familiarize yourself with Book Creator by watching this introductory video

Let's Get Started

Part 1: Make Your Own Book

  • Go to app.bookcreator.com and create a teacher account (free account allows your students to create 40 books)

    1. Import a picture, bitmoji or avatar.
    2. Add your name under that object
    3. Bring in a picture of your favorite tool you learned about in the book
    4. Write one paragraph about why that is your favorite tool and how you use it
