A few months ago I wrote about Book Creator and how they have opened up collaboration on their online Chrome based platform for Book Creator. My immediate thoughts were (in this order):
- Awesome
- When will this come to iPad (the answer is ‘soon’)
- How can we as educators model some good uses?
So I thought, why not create a collaborative book using Book Creator with ideas in it for how collaboration in Book Creator could be used in the classroom, so I prepared a template for a book, tweeted a tweet and the response was amazing:
I'm making a collaborative book using the new collaboration features in @BookCreatorApp. Fancy co-authoring it with me and adding your ideas on how you could use Book Creator for collaboration in the classroom? Drop me a line to get the access code! #edtech #elearning pic.twitter.com/c2FmqaPs8J
