Transitioning from Flipgrid to Book Creator
With the changes to Flipgrid, many educators are looking for new video tools. Heather Esposito, a district technology coach, successfully transitioned her video content to Book Creator, unlocking new creative possibilities for her students.
Empowering students with creative video options
Book Creator allows students to personalize their video responses with features like animated emojis and GIFs. Heather highlighted how these features make learning more inclusive and engaging for all students. She showed how she has made an image starter pack to help her students get started.
Reimagining student-led conferences with video
Heather shared how digital portfolios in Book Creator, complete with video reflections, gave students ownership of their learning. This dynamic approach provided parents with a deeper understanding of their child’s progress.
