How Book Creator + Kami Unleash Classroom Creativity

There’s a bit of news in the edtech world …

If you’ve heard of Book Creator (the creative multimedia digital book-making app) … and Kami (the multimedia PDF annotation tool) … then guess what?

They’re together now. Kami has acquired Book Creator.

So … what does that mean? Well, they’re still separate apps, but there are SO many ways they can be used together to boost creativity and what students can create.

In this Spotlight Sponsor Session, Farmer Faubs shares some very practical, creative uses of Book Creator and Kami — together!

Even if you’re new to either tool, you’ll get some very concrete, use-in-class-tomorrow ideas that you’ll love.

There are concrete reasons why writing is hard for some students — and there are concrete strategies you can use to empower your student writers.

In this incredibly practical (and insightful) session, LaNesha shares how she turned her writing block from a struggle to a strength. She also weaves in the science of learning to help you teach (and your students learn) in ways the brain prefers.
