Mrs. Becker's HS Science classes created iBooks using iBooks Author on their Macs (viewable on iPads or Macs if hey are updated to Mavericks). The students had to complete the following research below and then could add widgets (interactive review questions, interactive images, 3D images, galleries, etc.) to make their book interactive. You can also add a glossary of terms by linking definitions to words and a table of contents is updated automatically. If you haven't checked out iBooks author, I would love to help you! Kids LOVE it because it is easy to use (very similar to pages) but has more engaging "techie" features you can add. Other classes have used them to write autobiographies, art history research, to create their own math assessment review textbook, and teachers have even used them to author their own class textbook. Below is Mrs. Becker's assignment as well as a few pictures from one of the books created.
