First presented the the Vancouver iOS Summit in February 2015. Publishing digital books today is now really easy. Whether you have 1 iPad or 30 iPads in your classroom, you can guide students to create amazing work. Mobile devices today can be used to weave together audio, video, images, & text in creative ways (App Smashing). This session will show you how to get students away from consuming content to be creators of content and then publishing it as a digital book. Digital creation can engage students at any grade level while enhancing their writing, understanding and critical thinking skills. We will discuss why you should create digital books in your classroom and how to create them with easy apps and techniques. You will see many sample eBooks that students have created to give you ideas and inspiration.

Editor's Notes
- -students build a positive digital footprint.
- Describes how to practically integrate technology into everyday teaching Technology use can move from Enhancing to Transforming.
- The key is the process…
- Collaborate Create Collect Combine Circulate
- create and collaborate should go together
- Email is not efficient Have students share their images with you (GEDU) or upload them to a site like Flickr
- Edit in iBooks author , add widgets, add iAd producer elements. Work with other teachers/students to do some design elements (ex. Art Dept)
- the whole process is messy UNTIL it comes together at the end.
