The Innovative Educator. Step-by-Step: How to Create a Collaborative Class eBook Previously, I have published the following posts about creating eBooks: More and more classrooms are wanting to take their already created content and turn it into an eBook to share with parents, grandparents and the community who own eReaders.

If you only have one iPad available, it is not such a big problem. Each student waits for a turn to add their page(s) (or double page) to the book as the iPad gets passed around. Here is our Step-by-Step procedure (we are using the BookCreator app). 1.

Create Your Own E-Book for Your iPad Recently I had created a “Read-Along” book for our first graders to accompany their Magic Tree House podcast and am continuing to have fun creating e-books for my iPad from Word Documents, pdfs and thematic blog posts from Langwitches. Next year, we will have an iPad cart to use with our students and I am looking forward to brainstorming more ideas and opportunities to allow students to create and organize their own e-books on the iPad.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of creating our own e-books instead of purchased textbooks? What new learning opportunities can creating your e-book bring to your classroom? How can we integrate teacher-created e-books, personalized for students? Will student created e-books motivate, engage and empower learners? Let’s put our heads together to think of the opportunities and possibilities. Have you already created and used your own e-books in your classroom.

My second book, English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies That Work, was published by Linworth Publishing in April, 2010. You can read a summary of it that I wrote as a guest post on The New York Times website. It now has a page on Amazon and you can also order it directly from the publisher.
Here’s the publisher’s description of the book, as it appears on the Amazon page: Great teaching is about facilitating intrinsic motivation and self-directed learning. It’s about giving students the opportunity to learn by doing and encouraging them to take risks and learn from their mistakes. These same methods and skills apply equally to the huge number of English Language Learners now in American classrooms. Written by an award-winning practitioner, English Language Learners: Teaching Strategies that Work offers educators a five-step methodology for teaching this burgeoning population. The introduction is rather lengthy, so I’m going to just reprint a portion here on my blog. Learning by Doing. Creating an Online Resource Library on Edmodo. Although I use Evernote on a daily basis to bookmark useful websites and clip interesting articles/lesson ideas to build up an enormous bank of resources, it isn't the most tidy of places as I literally just save there quickly knowing that I can find it again later by doing a keyword/tag search.
I do share this collection with people online and in school but I've never really seen it used much because it's not that visually attractive and can sometimes seem a little overwhelming due to she sheer amount of stuff on it. For these reasons, I also store duplicates of my favourite resources on Edmodo using their 'Library' tool. You can upload documents (up to 100mb) in size as well as save links to websites and embeddable content (e.g. YouTube videos). From the Library itself, you can only add resources individually one at a time however by sending a message to yourself on the main Edmodo screen with lots of attachments, you also can add multiple resources at once.

We started using OneNote with our Year 9 English classes in 2009 and continued with the process as they moved into Year 10 in 2010. Our Year 9 students that have just received their laptops have now also begun the process of using OneNote as their English book.
(Please see my previous post for how we set up the OneNote notebooks as templates for the entire cohorts.) This has been going swimmingly, and apart from spelling tests and in-class writing tasks, we have rarely used their exercise book since. This led us to a unique challenge though. We collect student books once per term to check on their work, mark work and give feedback as to progress, etc. How do we do this now their books are in OneNote? Thinking I was clever, I worked out how to save their notebook as a single file package and we had students save their notebooks and submit it this way. The good news is that there is a solution! This has worked wonderfully! Like this: Like Loading... Stephen's Web. The Rapid eLearning Blog.
