Memorable moments
While Laurie uses Book Creator more in professional development than directly with students, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Educators appreciate how everything is all in one place, including the ability to link between pages, making Book Creator an excellent resource guide and presentation tool.
A standout moment was at ISTE, where Laurie and her team used Book Creator to build a "Once Upon AI" book. They used Canva for AI-generated content and Book Creator to design storybooks based on AI prompts. The session was highly engaging and enjoyed by all participants, showcasing the power and versatility of Book Creator.
