This is a challenge that a whole class or grade level can work on. Use Book Creator to present their idea of why the school is special to them. Give the students freedom to use text, images, audio or video to tell their story. You'll be amazed at what they come up with! What's more, you can easily <a href="https://bookcreator.com/resources-for-teachers/example-books/">publish the books online</a>, giving you a library of powerful student reflection which can be used as your school prospectus.

When students create for their teacher, they do enough. When students create for an audience beyond the classroom, they are motivated to do their best.

As teachers begin signing in at <a href="https://app.bookcreator.com/sign-in/teacher">app.bookcreator.com/sign-in/teacher</a>, they’ll create their first library as soon as they start using the app. This library will have an invite code which they can give to students. Students then sign in themselves at <a href="https://app.bookcreator.com/">app.bookcreator.com</a>. They’ll need a Google or Office ID to sign in. Alternatively, you can <a href="https://intercom.help/bookcreator/for-administrators/using-book-creator-with-clever">sign in with Clever</a> or <a href="https://intercom.help/bookcreator/getting-started/signing-in-using-qr-codes">generate QR codes</a>. &nbsp; Once they’ve signed in, then they’ll enter your library invite code and join your library.

We recommend reviewing your progress around 3 weeks after launch. - Did you add 100% of your teachers to your admin dashboard? - Have 100% of your teachers activated their account? Set a date later on in the year to seek feedback from teachers: - Do they have any great books to share? - What ideas for using Book Creator have they uncovered? At the end of the year, send out a satisfaction survey to teachers to assess the effectiveness of Book Creator. Review your wider learning goals - has Book Creator impacted them?
