| August 8, 2022 | The Many Uses of Book Creator! It's Not Just for Creating Books! | Yes! Book Creator is a great way to create books.

Book creator also allows for links, videos, files, and much more. Book Creator can serve as an excellent way to have a student-driven curriculum. The teacher is able to allow students to create and can even send out work that the students will complete. You can set up journals which will show the work that students have done throughout the year. Come to this workshop to learn how to use Book Creator as a tool and find some of the many ways that you can use it as much more than just a way to create books. | Dan Wodarczak | Erie 1 BOCES Education Campus |
