Identify your Champions!

You know who they are. Those incredibly special people in your school district who help teachers make effective use of technology for learning. Instructional Technology Specialist, Library Media Specialist, Digital Learning Coach, Teacher... Whatever their title, they're the ones who make the magic happen with Book Creator in your school district.

This book is full of contributions from Book Creator champions working in schools and districts across the world, providing you with a toolkit of resources and tips on how best to support teachers to make the most out of Book Creator to make an impact in your students' lives.

Meet your Teacher Success Manager

Some individuals in the district will have already met your Teacher Success Manager. It's a great idea to schedule some time for all your coaches and Book Creator champions to meet them.

It can be a 'Train the Trainer' session, during which they share their tips on how best to introduce Book Creator to teachers. It's also a great opportunity to ask questions and brainstorm ideas for how best to roll out Book Creator in your district, in a way that resonates most with your goals and curriculum.

Once they gain an understanding of your district goals, they can also point you to the best pages in this book, based on the where you are in your Book Creator journey.

"I would suggest connecting with content area teams as soon as possible to find ways Book Creator can be integrated into current lessons, projects and assessments. When teachers see how the tool fits into a lesson or a final project, they will want to learn to use it and won’t see it as something extra. Keep a focus on the goals of the department, then find ways to connect the tool to what they are working on. After this first step, bring those different departments together to share best practices for their content/grade level for others to learn from."
