Book Creator is for everyone, across grades, subjects, and roles. Teachers use it to spark creativity in any lesson, librarians curate and share student-authored collections, and leaders see how it supports collaboration, equity, and digital literacy.
Students of all ages, including multilingual learners and those in special education, can express themselves through text, audio, video, and visuals, ensuring accessibility and authentic engagement for every learner.

Students
Express in multiple modes across the Four Domains of Language: With Book Creator, students can write, draw, narrate, record video, add captions and so much more. These multimodal features align naturally with the four domains of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, so learners practice each skill in authentic, creative ways.
💡Top tip! Multilingual learners and special education students are fully supported when using Book Creator for accessing curriculum or showcasing learning in authentic ways.
Flexible ways to demonstrate learning: Book Creator gives students options to translate text, respond with audio or video instead of only writing, and combine visuals with words. These choices provide multiple entry points and encourage deeper levels of thinking, reflection, and creativity.
💡 Top tip! Portfolios are a great example of demonstrating student learning and growth over a period of time.
Pride, ownership, and audience: Publishing to a class library, sharing with families, or going public gives students a real audience for their work. This sense of purpose builds motivation and engagement, especially because Book Creator allows every student to access grade-level curriculum and demonstrate their learning in ways that otherwise aren't easily supported.
Librarians & Media Specialists
Awarded Best Digital Tools for Teaching & Learning (2024) by the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), Book Creator has had a long-time partnership with the librarian community.
Inspire and connect readers: Use student-created books to spark inspiration and build authentic connections, highlighting projects that reflect collaboration, creativity, and student voice.
Curate authentic audiences: Showcase student work to peers, families, and even global communities, giving learners a chance to publish beyond the classroom and strengthening motivation.
Guide reflection and feedback: Support students in revising and refining their digital books by curating exemplars, facilitating peer feedback, and modeling how to reflect on growth as authors.
Technology coaches & Specialists
For those educators charged with bringing technology to their school/district, there are many reasons why Book Creator would be a top choice:
Ready-to-use PD facilitation resources: From PD Guides to District Toolkits, we offer turnkey resources to support in implementation and training.
Promote future-ready literacies: There are many resources within Book Creator to support future-ready students including the Portrait of an AI-Ready Graduate template book and multiple Digital Citizenship page templates. These tools guide students in developing the skills, ethics, and critical thinking they need in a digital world.
Streamlined integration & robust privacy: Book Creator supports single sign-on with major platforms, making it easy for schools and districts to roll out. It is also compliant with COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR, and certified by iKeepSafe for student data privacy.
Administrators & School Leadership
Curriculum alignment and cross-curricular value: Book Creator integrates seamlessly with existing curriculum and supports learning across all subject areas, eliminating the need to deploy multiple apps for different content areas. Its flexibility ensures alignment with district initiatives in literacy, STEM, social studies, or even the arts.
Accessibility and inclusion: With multimodal tools allowing for built-in differentiation, Book Creator helps schools provide equitable access for all students, including those with special education needs and multilingual learners.
Demonstration of learning and critical thinking: Students can show mastery of standards through creative projects that encourage problem solving, deep connections across subjects, and authentic application of skills. This reflects the findings of Gallup (2019), which showed creativity in learning fosters problem solving, critical thinking, retention, cross-disciplinary connections, and deep subject knowledge.
Motivation and engagement: Research shows that over 90% of administrators believe effective use of technology is critical for achieving their district’s core mission (EdSurge Research, 2016). Book Creator boosts motivation by giving students authentic audiences and flexible ways to engage with grade-level curriculum.
Self-published authors
Although our online app is solely for use in classrooms, our downloadable iPad app is available for home use too and has been used as a self-publishing tool since 2011.
Book Creator produces standards-compliant ePub 3, fixed layout ebooks. These are optimised for publishing on Apple's Book Store and we've seen some amazing books made by talented authors. The simplicity and affordability of Book Creator makes it a great option for authors looking for a quick and easy way to publish their books.
