Hi guys I'm Ruby and today I'm gonna be teaching you how to use Book Creator.
We're going to be covering how to sign in, how to copy a book, and how to make
your own book. Okay so you'll need to go to app.bookcreator.com and make sure
you are on student sign in and not teacher sign in. So I have a Google
account so I'm going to sign in with Google - you can also sign in with Office
365, a QR code or with Clever. OK, so select your account. OK once you've signed in
you will need to enter the library code that you will have received from your
teacher. Okay so the next thing we're gonna do is copy a book. So as you can
see my teacher has left me a book to work on, so I'm gonna press on the library
icon down here, I'm going to press 'Copy book' and choose the library I want to
copy the book to. So now I have this book in my library for me to work on so I can
now click on this book and edit it.
So we've shown you how to sign in and we've shown you how to copy your book
and now we're going to show you how to make your very own book. So press the 'New
Book' button up here. We can choose either a normal book or a comic book; and you
have portrait square or landscape. I'm going to choose a square comic book.
Okay so you'll have the cover and then you have the pages inside your book.
You're only given three pages at the start but you can add as many as you
like so press the plus button to add a new page, so you've now got four pages...
five pages. And you can also go up to the Pages button to see all your different
pages. Okay so if we go back to the cover, there's lots of stuff we can do so if we
press on the little plus icon at the top, we've got Media, Comics and Shapes. So if we
press on Media, we can add some text. So let's say this was a book about me,
I could say "Hi My Name Is Ruby". Press the Done button and now you can drag this
text wherever you want. Let's say we want it in the middle. Okay, if you press the 'i'
icon you can alter lots of things with the text. So you can change the font size -
so I'm going to put that around... let's say 60. You can change if it's to the
side, centered, to the other side or perfectly straight. I'm gonna go for
centered. You can make it Bold, Italic or Underlined.
I'll go underlined. Okay one of my favorite parts is that you can change
the font and there are so many different fonts to choose from. I'm gonna go... this
one. Okay you can also change the color. You have a few selected colors or you
can choose your own color out of this rainbow block. So I'm gonna choose a
light yellow. So press apply and that applies the color to your text.
Okay we can now resize... redo the length of this so let's say I wanted it
like that and then I can put that in the center. Okay now I'm going to show you
how to add your own photo, so go back onto the plus icon, press Media and
press Camera. Okay... cheese! You can take your own photo and if
you don't like it then you can always redo it.
Okay so now I have this photo I can make it smaller or bigger (I'm gonna make it
smaller) and I'm going to put it just here, right above my name. Okay so now
I've got a photo of me and I've got my name. So if you press on the plus icon you
can also import any photos. So, Media then press Import. So this is a Google image
search - you can type in whatever you want. Let's say I wanted a picture of kittens.
So I would type in... "k-i-t-t-e-n-s" and then search that. As you can see loads of
pictures of kittens have come up so I can scroll and choose one that I want.
Say I want this one, you press it and then you press Select. Okay so now that photo
is on my book so I can resize it, let's say I wanted to make it smaller or
bigger. Okay so now I can show you how to get an emoji.
Everyone loves emojis and it's really fun how you can add them to your book.
So press on the plus icon again, select Media and go down to Pen. So press on the
emoji button and then you can scroll, and you have a whole huge selection of
emojis to choose from. I'm going to choose this emoji. Okay perfect - and even
if you can't... don't want to resize it now you can always resize it after. So press
the Done button. Okay now I have this emoji I can place that on my face [laughs].
I've got a few more things to show you. The first thing is you can add really cool
backgrounds to your cover and any of the other pages so press the 'i' button. You
can select any of these comic backgrounds or colors or patterns or
textures. I'm going to choose textures. So I can add any of these textures here,
they're all really cool. I'm going to choose wooden. Okay so now you can see
that's been added to the cover of my book. Okay so one of the last few things
I'm going to show you is you can add a bunch of really cool stickers. So press
on the plus button, select Stickers and you have a ton of stickers to choose
from. I'm going to go... this one. You can also resize these stickers (I'm going to
make it that), and you can turn them around if you want to. Okay so the final
thing is after you're done with your book press the play button and you can
go through all of your pages by pressing on the arrow icon. Thanks for watching
and I hope I've helped you understand how Book Creator works.
