Book creator

Principal function(s): Story creators

This app allows users to create eBooks by inserting text, audio and video materials, drawings, and photos from their own photo roll. Once the book is ready, it can be shared by email, file-sharing websites such as Dropbox, posted on the web, or published. Evaluation: Book creator is a colourful, original, and easy way for students to create stories and practice language skills. It can also promote greater interaction and imaginative skills than more traditional methods. It encourages independent learning, aids differentiation, allows students to share information about themselves or their work, and is suitable for all age groups.

Cost: Free with registration + paid options
