Having students publish their school work online has been something I have been interested in over the past five years. Once I started using iPads in the classroom I began to think about educational artifacts that students could be proud of that would last beyond their time in my class.
Last year I began to experiment with publishing eBooks on Apple's iBook Store. My students and I have now published 4 digital books and made several revisions.
Here is a list of books that have been published:
Apple iBook Store:
- Human Rights Abuses : 20th Century
- iBook created by Mr. Reid's History 12 class in 2013 & updated in 2014.
- War of 1812
- iBook created by Mr. Reid's Grade 9 Social Studies class in 2013.
- Russian Revolution Comic Book
- iBook created by Mr. Reid’s History 12 class in Fall 2013.
- A Great Adventure: The Age of Exploration
- iBook created by Mr. Reid’s Grade 8 Class in 2014
ePub Books:
- A Great Adventure: The Age of Exploration
- ePub Digital Book created by Mr. Reid’s Grade 8 Class in 2014
- TBA
Below is a presentation/workshop that I gave on February 21st, 2013 for a group of public school teachers in SD73 Kamloops.
In this workshop, I focused on powerful apps to use as a teacher for digital story telling in the classroom. These will work if you have 1 or 30 iPads in your classroom. A copy of the presentation can be found here.
