Looking for a way to EASILY create an eBook on your iPad?  Well, look no further!  Book Creator is the way to go!  Book Creator allows you to add text, images, video, audio, and music to your eBook and easily share to iBooks as well as other storage apps such as Google Drive and Drop Box.  EdtechTeacher writes, “This is by far the best app to create ePubs on the iPad” and gives it a rating of 5/5 for usefulness and “easy” for ease of use.  Book Creator is $4.99 and well worth it!

Mark Gleeson, blogging as “Mr. G Online“, has blogged extensively on Book Creator and has created some terrific tutorials on getting started.  He has posted both a PDF tutorial for those who prefer reading instructions as well as a two part video tutorial posted to Youtube.  Both of those resources can be found here.  When you download Book Creator, a tutorial is included in the app which is very useful and it has a help function built in as well.

Tomorrow we will be having a Book Creator “Play Date” at Kula Ha’aha’a.  I recently attended the Edtech Teacher iPad Summit in Atlanta, Georgia, and was inspired by many of the presenters, but particularly by the Key Note Speakers, Jennie Magiera, Autumn Laidlier, Anita Orozco Huffman as well as Reshan Richards and Darren Kuropatwa who add a little play to their PD.  Presentation is below and blog post coming soon on how participants felt about a little whimsy.
