Catherine from Book Creaotor. This tutorial is for specifically
students and parents. Your teacher should have shared a specific invite code or
have given your student a QR code to have them join a library. They do have
access to log in to Book Creator and the teacher is the owner of the materials
inside the site of Book Creator so they do not need a specific login they just
need to make sure they have that specific invite code or the QR code. Okay.
What you're going to do is you're going to go to bookcreator.com, you get to
bookcreator.com, you're going to click on sign-in, and if you are on an iPad
make sure that you do go on to the Safari or on a tablet you can also use
any browser just click on that browser and go there - you do not need to use the
app. Okay, when you're here you're going to go to the student sign-on make sure
you do not sign in as a teacher because it will knock you off and have you sign
in as the student. So, sign in as the student - you have options here if your school has
Clever, they can sign in with Clever, you can [they can] also use their Google login
- the Microsoft login if you're a Microsoft school or a QR code too. So, for
me I'm going to sign in with Google, I'm gonna pretend that I am a student to
show you what you see. Okay, scroll down (this is my student one I use as a practice
one)...
and now what it's going to ask you to do is it's going to.. (you can go to my
library) it's going to have you join your teacher library, remember that pops right
up on the screen so here I'm going to join my teacher library and I need to
type in that library code. So here is my teacher library I'm going to type in...
Join library. Now your student could have access to multiple libraries from
multiple teachers so there might be a different list of those from each
teacher. Then when the student goes... if you click on up here these three lines, I
can view all of my libraries on the side so I'm in... say I'm in Miss Cappiello (which
is me) but I'm the Period 2 ELA class - I'm gonna click on Period 2. Now I have
access to that library. If a teacher let's say creates a
template for you to copy you'll notice here they might put a template they
might have copy this and so forth different ways that you can do that here
maybe they did create a template and now you need to copy that and you're going
to create your book from there. Down here you're going to go on and press this
little book icon and you're gonna click copy book. I'm gonna put it right into
the same library cuz its Period 2 and now I have a copy of my book or the book
the template the teacher gave me I'm gonna delete this and now I'm gonna name
it my own I'm going to maybe it's Johnny's Journal and then I can also
click on the name down here... my internet I'm sorry I'm my computer's freezing
anyways you can edit you can edit the name as well it's not working in a second
right on my computer because it's going slow but you can edit and change that
and so forth and now you have your template. Now what I'm going to do is I'm
going to click on the edit button and now I can go in and edit this book
just as if it was my own so I can click on date
double-click put in today's date (Happy St. Patrick's Day) and so forth you can
add their name this journal book belongs to I'm gonna click on the shape Johnny
everything right there can add stuff pages so forth if I click on pages what
can do here maybe my teacher wants me to create a journal entry for every single
day what I would do here is I just go click on these three dots on the bottom
of the page and then I can just copy you can also move these around to for your
needs super easy to copy a book so just look
at your teachers instructions to see if they want you to make that copy and go
from there also when you're in here just think of this as a bookshelf in that
teacher's library and these are all the books so you're going to see your
classmates books in here as well when you're looking at your classmates books
you can click on their book to read it you can see excuse me
I can read what they're doing on their book
what I also can do on this bookshelf is I can look for any book that has these
right here these features with these icons that means I can collaborate on
this book so what I can do here do you see where it's an edit sign that means I
can add it that book you'll notice I'm able to edit the book I copied but I
can't actually edit the original template that the teacher made this one
I can edit because it's on collaboration mode so now I can go in here and now I
can make edits or maybe I want to add things to my classroom book that's what
those little icons mean now maybe you want to create a new book on your own
this is what you'll do you'll click on plus new book I would always I focus on
creating or clicking on one of these comics at the bottom it just means you
have extra features does not mean that you're only creating of comic book and
now the only two things that you need to worry about here are the plus button and
the inspector button the plus button means that you're just adding something
to the pages so I'm either adding media meaning pictures videos text Auto draw
and recording something and the inspector is what you would click to
change whatever you have made so I want to change this cover I'd go to inspector
and now I can change the color I can also browse down here and change
these different things to supercool if I want to play my book to see what it
would look like I press the play button
three dots dot dot dot stop sorry my internet is going slow but you get the
point okay it's a play button and then it will play let's try one more time if
it works there we go and now I can read my book like I said super simple two
buttons plus inspector the main ones play for the play and then I can always
rearrange using pages I can move these around
I can copy delete so forth then I will have all my books I will see my friends
focus as well on that shelf and I should be good to go now let's say your teacher
another teacher says hey I want you to do this project join my library we'll
just click on those three lines go to join a library and now type in the next
code hopefully that helps
