BookWidgets
BookWidgets is a super easy (no programming required) way to create interactive elements to share with learners on their iPads.
A widget library presents more than thirty customizable options and a wizard talks the user through widget building. Among the options are exit slips, worksheets, timelines, maps, an assortment of classic learning games, surveys, flashcards, media players and carousels and embedding tools. You add your own content in the form of text images, questions. You may share your finished widget as a link or embed it on any website. Analytics allow teachers to track and assess user activity.
You may also browse through widget examples by subject.
BookWidgets plays nice with other educational apps, including iTunes U, iBooks Author, and Explain Everything.
Here’s a wonderful opportunity for librarians to to co-teach and co-create with classroom teachers.
This little teaser shares an overview of activity types.
