15 More Apps To Create Books On The iPad
Creating books on the iPad doesn’t seem like the first thing you might do with one of the popular little tablets, but it’s really quite capable of doing so provided you’re not trying to write the next great novel. We’ve written about 3 apps to reate books on the iPad in the past, but the following listly by Meg Wilson goes further, including 15 apps to do so.

And for those of you that rail against both Common Core and the iPad (but obviously not literacy), keep fighting the good fight. 15 Literacy Apps To Create Books On The iPad Related:  eBookPublishing

Glossario eBook per muoversi nel mondo del libro digitale Molti lettori lamentano una certa difficoltà davanti alla terminologia, spesso sfaccettata e non sempre d’immediata comprensione, tipica dell’universo digitale del libro elettronico, noto anche con il nome di ebook. Abbiamo così pensato di far loro cosa gradita compilando un glossario eBook, una sintetica lista di termini connessi all’ambito dei libri elettronici, sforzandoci di mantenerla il più possibile fruibile e soprattutto intellegibile a tutti i lettori, specie a quelli più restii ad adottare questa nuova “diavoleria” elettronica, che a molti potrà apparire ostica e prosaica, ma che può invece giovare a una maggiore diffusione della lettura nel nostro Paese. Glossario ebook Adobe Digital Editions: applicazione gratuita prodotta da Adobe che consente la lettura di ebook in formato epub e PDF, indispensabile in caso gli ebook siano protetti con I lucchetti elettronici DRM, realizzati dalla stessa Adobe.

Intermezzi Editore - www.intermezzieditore.it Liber.io, creare eBook a partire da Google Drive Metto subito le mani avanti: applicazioni come iBooks Author o Book Creator sono davvero un’altra storia. La possibilità d’inserire video, avere dei layout bellissimi e semplici da modificare, inserire note audio, sono davvero un’altra cosa. Tuttavia bisogna mettere in conto che non tutti hanno gli strumenti adatti a disposizione (tipo un Mac od un iPad). Si possono comunque fare cose pregevoli anche senza spendere un centesimo, sfruttando ciò che la Rete ci offre. Liber.io è proprio una di quelle risorse che dovreste provare almeno una volta. Sia che vogliate creare degli appunti per la flipped classroom, sia che vogliate far creare ai vostri alunni degli eBook sugli argomenti affrontati in classe, Liber.io fa al caso vostro. La grafica interna è a prova di principiante: pochi comandi, chiari e ben visibili. Ciò che Liber.io produce è un file ePub che risponde in maniera ottimale a tutti gli standard ufficiali. Volete vedere un esempio? Mi sembra più che soddisfacente.

How To Create An App Library Apps and books are more similar than they might seem. They each diffuse content, provide access to expertise, and allow the cataloging and consolidation of knowledge into accessible forms for learners to study. And while there are important differences—apps can be constantly refreshed new information, while a book is what it is the moment it is published—there are some lessons to be learned with how we collect and categorize books. They’ve moved into the world of formal didactic intent, with examples from Khan Academy, Learnist, Study Egg, and even TED talks moving from interesting bits of stuff to cohesive and logical learning sequences. Another factor to consider is their sheer accessibility for most learners and educators. Lots of them–millions in fact scattered across the Android “Google Play” store and Apple’s stunningly successful app store. An app library can help ease the burden of this process, while also aiding in new app discovery. Starting Your Collection edshelf Collaboration

Baen Ebooks A STUNNING BAEN BOOKS DEBUT. A brilliant Americana flintlock fantasy novel set in a world of Appalachian magic that works. Sarah Calhoun is the fifteen‑year‑old daughter of the Elector Andrew Calhoun, one of Appalachee’s military heroes and one of the electors who gets to decide who will next ascend as the Emperor of the New World. None of that matters to Sarah. But Sarah’s world gets turned on its head at the Nashville Tobacco Fair when a Yankee wizard‑priest tries to kidnap her. Now on a desperate quest with Thalanes to claim this heritage, she is hunted by the Emperor’s bodyguard of elite dragoons, as well as by darker things—shapeshifting Mockers and undead Lazars, and behind them a power more sinister still.
