Check for Understanding with Book Creator
How do you check for understanding in your classroom? There are lots of ways for students to “show what they know.” In any subject area or grade level, your students can use Book Creator for daily updates, journaling, and to share their progress creating projects.
Students can demonstrate their understanding in many different ways. With Book Creator, your students can use their voice to create audio recordings or the text tool to type a response. There is also the option for students to create illustrations and capture images too. Whether you’re looking to create collaborative learning experiences for your students or give them space to work independently, Book Creator is an excellent choice!
