Book Creator

Asking students to put pencil to paper and start writing short stories can be a difficult task to students even without learning disabilities.  They may feel pressured by the writing process or lack the skills needed, such as writing in complete sentences, correct grammar and punctuation and spelling.  Currently, there is a tool available for students, educators and parents that will allow students to use their creative imaginations and design their own storybooks at the touch of a fingertip solely using an iPad. 

Book Creator is an application available for iPads, Android and Windows that allows students to create endless storybooks.  They have many options such as, annotating over images, recording audio, adding text, or incorporating images from the web into their story.  Book Creator is an amazing tool, which allows the students to work independently while using their imagination to the utmost potential.  Teachers can modify classroom assignments for learning disabled students by uploading worksheets directly onto the app, and then have students annotate their answers directly over the image or add voice recording into the area where needed.  Students would be more motivated to write short stories using this piece of technology due to the fact that they can alter it as many times as they want, as well as personalize the story to their own liking.
