Introduction to Book
Book Creator-Is an app. There are two apps on iPad. One is free but it only allows creating of one book. The unlimited app is very economical and is available for $ 6.99. The android is more limited than the iPad version. This is a very versatile app. This is a great app for UDL. Authoring app-means you design them as a teacher but you can always have students showing what they know through this app. It is cross curriculum and has capabilities for a variety of students include the visually impaired. You can even collaborate with other classes in province or abroad.
