I'm incredibly excited to share that Book Creator has officially earned the ISTE Seal of Alignment, a recognition that underscores our commitment to empowering students and educators through creativity, accessibility, and innovation. Even more thrilling—Book Creator is the first-ever tool to receive this distinction under the new "Creativity Tools" category!

At Book Creator, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to express themselves, tell their stories, and learn in ways that are meaningful to them. This recognition from ISTE validates our mission to support educators with tools that enhance learning outcomes, foster student engagement, and bring creativity into every classroom.

Why this matters

The ISTE Seal of Alignment is awarded to products that meet the highest standards in digital pedagogy, usability, and alignment with the globally recognized ISTE Standards.

Following an extensive review, ISTE’s expert panel found that Book Creator excels in several key areas:

User-friendly & intuitive design

• Teachers and students can dive in immediately, thanks to seamless navigation, clear tutorials, and a well-structured interface.
• Book Creator ensures instructional time is spent on learning—not troubleshooting technology.

A platform for creativity & authentic expression

• The review highlighted how Book Creator empowers students to communicate ideas through text, images, audio, video, and drawings, aligning with the Creative Communicator standard (ISTE 1.6).

Collaboration that enhances learning

Our real-time collaboration features allow students to co-create books, provide peer feedback, and work together across classrooms and borders—a powerful demonstration of ISTE’s Global Collaborator standard (ISTE 1.7).

Customizable learning & embedded assessments

• Book Creator supports formative check-ins and personalized learning through built-in page templates, rubrics, and real-time teacher feedback.

Equity, accessibility & inclusion

We are especially proud that ISTE recognized Book Creator’s accessibility features, including high-contrast design, closed captioning, speech-to-text, and SEL content, ensuring that every student—regardless of ability—can create and learn.

Seamless integration for educators

With direct integrations into popular LMS platforms and external apps, Book Creator makes implementation effortless for teachers, supporting diverse instructional models and blended learning environments.

What this means for educators

As the first creativity tool to receive the ISTE Seal of Alignment, Book Creator sets a new standard for student-centered, accessible, and engaging digital learning.

Erin Dowd, ISTE Seal Program Manager, emphasizes the significance of this milestone: "We're excited to expand the ISTE Seal program to evaluate creativity tools. These tools, like Book Creator, are designed to inspire creativity, promote idea generation, and allow students and educators to communicate in diverse ways."

For educators, this means you can trust Book Creator as a research-backed, education-ready tool that aligns with best practices in teaching and learning.
