One of our first grade teachers came to me right before the 100th day of school. She wanted to have the students take photos of their 100th day learning stations and “somehow use technology” to share what they learned. She had some wonderful ideas but time seems to always be a factor!

After tossing around some ideas for creating a way to share, we decided on my favorite “go-to” app – Book Creator. I borrowed the first grade iPads and air dropped a template to each so everything was ready to go when the students arrived.

The children had taken 5 to 6 photos of their group at each station. They were shown how to add photos, label names, and create a title.

Next, it was time to record, save the book as a video, and air drop to me so I could make the class video.
