Book Creator is a tool for creating online, interactive ebooks. These books can include images, videos, graphics and more. This book, created with Book Creator, will provide an overview on how to use this amazing resource. Book Creator is available through your school librarian.

When using the Comic feature, you can use panels to organize your information. In fact, I suggest always choosing the Comic book so that you have the ability to use panels. To add panels to your page: ~ Click the Plus sign ~ Select the panels icon ~ Choose a layout that you like ~ To add images, camera or files, click in the center of the panel. These items can be resized and moved to fit correctly inside the panel. Panels can be unlocked and resized if needed.

Book Creator allows you to use your device's camera to add photos and videos directly into your book. To do this, follow these steps: ~ Click the Plus sign and select Camera. ~ Chose Take Picture to take a photo. ~ Choose Record Video to create a video. When done, the photo or image will import directly onto your page. You can move it or resize it as needed.

To use the pen tool, click the plus sign at the top right corner of your screen and select Pen. Your pen options include a pen, paintbrush, crayon and highlighter. A really cool feature is the Auto pen, which is explained in the video below. You can change the color and the thickness of each tool. A paint can is also available, which allows you to fill in shapes or color the entire background. You also have an assortment of emojis that can be added to your page.
