Making and Publishing an iBook (about Brooklyn Public Library) with instructor Carla Echevarria
Description: 
Using a few simple apps on the iPad, students will write, design, and publish their own storybooks. Using inspiration from the Brooklyn Library, they will learn to use a basic word editor to write a simple story, a painting app to create illustrations, the iPad camera to take photos, a photo manipulation app to crop and recolor photos, and then an app like BookCreator to put it all together into a book format. 

The final product will be “published” to the Apple iBook store, where their friends and family can buy a copy.
