Just Books Read Aloud - 5 views

  •  
    This site is JUST books read aloud by normal (but enthusiastic) readers. There are no advertisements or other revenue generating opportunities on the site. Children can't navigate away from the site and follow other youtube leads. There are only children's books on the site. The videos only show the books versus seeing the reader, which I think distracts from the book. Animation on the site is limited to nice editing jobs that zoom to parts of the page. The books are frequently reordered to encourage listening to new books.

There are a variety of instructional uses for this app, from using it as a publishing tool for project-based learning to a summative assessment at the end of a unit.  Students can embed images, audio files, video files, and write text.  The advantage of an epub document over a PDF document is that all of the media will be preserved and available for readers to interact with when the final product is published.   Depending on how you use Creative Book Builder with students, this app can help students complete tasks that align with every level of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy.  Explore the different ways this app can be used at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy."
