iPad App of the Week:
Book Creator
Book Creator is an app that allows users to create their own e-publication. It allows students to create their own children’s picture book, photo book, art book, cook book, manual, textbook, etc. Users can import photos from their iPad camera, copy and paste from Safari, or draw their own with another drawing application and import them into Book Creator. Sound can be recorded within the app or brought in from you iPad’s library. The book that is created can then be opened in iBooks to share with classmates.
