This spring I’m excited to partner with the folks at Book Creator for a special webinar series. Throughout the months of April and May I’m hosting seven webinars to share strategies for using Book Creator. From family-friendly activities to ways to combine favorite apps, we’ll cover strategies for home and classrooms.
In this blog post, I’ll share more information about each of the webinars. You’ll also find a registration link for each one — or the replay link if the date has passed. You don’t need to have a Book Creator account to participate in the webinars. But if you’d like to set up an account for free, you can use this link to sign up. And you are certainly welcome to sign up for one or all seven!
