Wow! The presentations were amazing!  We have created valuable  resources for all levels.  


Below you will see some ideas I highlighted from each presentation:


-Welcome book Idea.  Love the speech Icon idea!  This will let you know when to click on the speech.  Also liked how you can link a page using a table of contents.  Great ideas on how you can use Book Creator as a whole school resource tool.  Great way to use Book Creator to make a self generated book about the zones.  


-Loved your family photo album idea.  So nice to show your classmates your family.  You had a variety of ideas and used video, audio, and text pictures.  Your doers and dreamers guide would be an awesome activity. Students would love making their own guide.  Great Job!


-Love the use for curriculum night idea.  You can have the students present about their classroom.  Excellent!  Great way to incorporate other cultures and languages (click on the picture to hear the word.)


-How to create a resume and reference.  Great idea!  Excellent way to use for social skills (body language, personal space, Hygiene, talking too much.)  


-Visual dictionary idea is great and students would enjoy creating their own. Illustrating a song or poem would be very engaging for students.


-Elevator Pitch, Explain who you are and more exciting things about yourself using Book Creator.  Great project based ideas!


-Cookbook idea is wonderful. Adding videos to your cookbook would be so much fun and engaging.  Also collaborating class reflection would produce a really since memory book for students. Interactive word wall is an awesome idea!  Students would benefit from it’s accessibility.  


-Create your own ABC book and personal classroom yearbook would be an excellent activity for any classroom.  You could adapt these activities based on needs and grade level.  Visual schedule idea would be beneficial for many students who have trouble with executive functioning difficulties.

-Family vacation activity would be thrilling for students.  Great idea to use the Tellagami App to provide instructions for your activity.  The favorite sport project is a great way to incorporate Physical Education.  Math riddles would be a fun way to use Book Creator.
