Book Creator is definitely not a new app in town, but an app that we have revisited as a school. Originally, Book Creator gathered a lot of steam with our teachers due to the media-rich books that students could make about their learning. It was only when it came time to sharing this lovely books that posed a problem. Books over 25MB cannot be emailed, and furthermore, if books could be emailed we encountered the issue of some families not having a device with iBooks in order to view the book.
There are a few work arounds teachers have tried with a little more success. For starters, schools now have unlimited storage space in Drive, so books can be uploaded to Drive and links shared with home. Devices with iBooks are more prevalent with families so that helps too. Lastly, Book Creator has provided an 'export as video' option. Although the deign of a 'book' and flipping of pages is lost, this option does provide a quick and easy way for students to share books without losing any audio. Books can saved directly to the camera roll and then uploaded to their blogs through the Easy Blogger app.
Below is a quick slideshow on how to make a Book Creator and options for sharing it.
