Publication Across the Curriculum

October

October saw the launch of two different sets of ebooks.  First, Mrs. Schulte had her students using the Apple products suite to design iBooks.  Students first studied common myths from Greek and Roman mythology.  Then, they used those models to build their own myths to explain a natural phenomenon using Pages to save stories as ePub files.  From there, we published the stories in iBooks so they could share!

The Spanish II students embarked on a similar journey, but they used a web based app called @bookcreatorapp.  The teachers in the case chose to pay the subscription fee for a month or two in order to get all the features of the app.  Total cost was about 10 dollars.  

Differences in the products and outcomes:

Pages + iBooks

Book Creator + Google Classroom
