Welcome
Foreword
Book Creator launched on iPad in September 2011. More than 6 years later the app is still going strong, used in classrooms all across the world in a variety of different subjects. And with the launch of our Chrome web app in 2017, we hope students will continue to benefit from using Book Creator.
We love seeing how creative teachers and students can be when using Book Creator. We’re lucky that many teachers over the years have shared their tips, ideas and lesson plans as case studies on our blog.
This book brings together those ideas in one place, so you can browse through them and hopefully be inspired. Thank you to all the teachers who’ve contributed.
We’ve started off with 50 ways to use Book Creator, but we’re certain there’s a lot more than that! If you’ve got a great idea and want to share it with others, please contact us!
Happy book making.

Kick off the school year by building classroom community and culture with this fun task
Now that Book Creator is available for iOS and Chrome, teachers can harness its power on any device! Imagine setting up a station with a single iPad, Chromebook, or even desktop during the first week of school and then personally engaging with every student as you co-create a page to introduce them to the class.
With younger students, this might be a first introduction to technology; and with
With younger students, this might be a first introduction to technology; and with
older students, it could afford you the opportunity to make a personal connection through a shared activity.
Another option might be to create ‘Who Am I?’ books to kick off the year.
Given the capability to insert audio and video in addition to static images or text into books, all students have the capacity to then share their identity with Book Creator.

Teach math in a whole new way
Thinking and problem solving through math riddles
STEP 1
Get inspired by reading 'How Many Feet? How Many Tails' by Marilyn Burns.
