Sophia and I have put together a presentation on Google Slides about different uses of Book Creator. This presentation is intended to be presented as a professional development for educators.

The main goal of the presentation is to give educators an overview of what Book Creator is, how to use it at a basic level, extend basic understanding of the interface to include advanced features, introduce the Book Creator resource library, and give example uses of the interface.

In order to provide a solid understanding of the basic features of Book Creators, we will provide a walk-through tutorial of the interface and present an example book about the solar system.

Additionally, we will be exploring the advanced features of Book Creator by exploring an example book that uses Youtube video emeds called How Are You Feeling Today? by Fernanda R. Lameira.

Next, we will introduce and explore the Book Creator resource library to begin thinking about example uses of the interface.

After exploring the different basic and advanced features of Book Creator and exploring the resource library, we will give participants some time to brainstorm different example uses of the interface in their own classrooms across grade levels. Participants will insert their ideas into a collaborative Jamboard.

  1. Molly and Sophia, kudos for. a very professional presentation. As someone who has delivered a lot of PD and sat through even more, I can attest to how tough it is to “teach teachers.”

    Your presentation had excellent pacing and you were very effective at teaching the group the features of Book Creator and how to effectively use it. The QR codes were used effectively to guide us to your resources.

    You should take pride in your effort and final product.

    (One final note – you have uploaded a title image within your post, but you still lack a featured image. You might want to change that, since your great post currently lacks a visual preview)
