Memorable moments and visual elements
Inspired by watching a Book Creator webinar with Randy Arndt and Jon Smith. I created a number of interactive graphic organizers to boost student engagement in my classroom. Using the space in the pasteboard or margins allows students to manipulate the information on each graphic organizer. I immediately saw a boost in student engagement as we used the features of Book Creator in the classroom.
Taking a template and remixing it to suit the needs of my students is a game changer.Eric Stinebring
Goals and aspirations for the upcoming year
I retired from full-time teaching in June 2024, however I am still teaching as a substitute several days a week; currently I am introducing Book Creator to other teachers and showing them ways they can use Book Creator with their students. In November, I will be presenting an Introduction to Book Creator at our district-wide Innovation Institute.
