These past few weeks have been all about Book Creator in the classroom... Book Creator is a wonderful and student friendly app for creating books with audio. Last week my students shared their thoughts about Romare Bearden's artwork Home to Ithaca using the See Think Wonder Thinking Routine (we love Project Zero Making Thinking Visible - Thinking Routines).

You've heard of the iPad and seen it in action... but what purpose would it serve in the classroom? You might be surprised. While there are plenty of education-oriented apps in the Apple App Store right now, most are a bit too expensive to deploy on a large-scale level such as multiple classrooms. For example, at $9.99, most popular iPad apps would cost about $300 per app for a classroom of 30 students.
