\"\"Looking for a way to EASILY create an eBook on your iPad? \u00a0Well, look no further! \u00a0Book Creator<\/a> is the way to go! \u00a0Book 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. \u00a0EdtechTeacher<\/a> 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. \u00a0Book Creator is $4.99 and well worth it!<\/p>\n

Mark Gleeson<\/a>, blogging as “Mr. G Online<\/a>“, has blogged extensively on Book Creator and has created some terrific tutorials on getting started. \u00a0He has posted both a PDF tutorial for those who prefer reading instructions as well as a two part video tutorial posted to Youtube. \u00a0Both of those resources can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. \u00a0When 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.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we will be having a Book Creator “Play Date” at Kula Ha’aha’a<\/a>. \u00a0I recently attended the Edtech Teacher iPad Summit<\/a> in Atlanta, Georgia, and was inspired by many of the presenters, but particularly by the Key Note Speakers,\u00a0Jennie Magiera<\/a>, Autumn Laidlier<\/a>, Anita Orozco Huffman<\/a> as well as\u00a0Reshan Richards<\/a> and Darren Kuropatwa<\/a> who add a little play to their PD. \u00a0Presentation is below and blog post coming soon on how participants felt about a little whimsy.<\/p>\n
