I have been looking int Book Creator a bit. It looks to be a great platform for my high Image (low text) materials. Here is a link. Read around to get an idea of what it can do. https://read.bookcreator.com/aWAhdfUWXPQR1UPW7fJOHnfObsb2/_or2hLPmR3WlS34sPH_WKQ https://read.bookcreator.com/aWAhdfUWXPQR1UPW7fJOHnfObsb2/_or2hLPmR3WlS34sPH_WKQ

I have been looking into different ways to create epubs.

I have been looking into different ways to create epubs. There seem to be some options Pages, iBook​ Author, Word, book creator. I will be creating mine using Pages or Book Creator.

 •What are they currently using or reading instead? Currently teachers (and myself) are following outlines found in the front or back of course books. •Why do I think my material (or idea) is good? Why because it is a good starting point for defining what the language task, activity, situation, etc will solve. 
 Homework #2 Can it be done?
•What will the final product look like—text? images? size? format? length? I would bre...

My name is Rhett Burton.

My name is Rhett Burton. I like to make things. I like storytelling. I want to write a course... or a bunch of mini course.. take my learnes from a1 to a2. I will incorporate: words, activities, target language, readers, songs, story plays, and S.T.E.A.M projects. I started 4 years ago. I do a little bit everyday.
