I’m very excited that the latest version of Book Creator for iPad (version 2.4) now supports hyperlinks as well as combining multiple projects into a single eBook. This is GREAT news for many folks, including students and teachers creating eBooks in the classroom, for class projects, or just for fun! I hope to see you tomorrow morning at Northwest Library in Oklahoma City for this fun morning of eBook learning, playing, and creating!

    Hi Wes,Sure would love to be able to come to this workshop. I love your layout of your website wesfryer.com. In the past I’ve always just gone to your blog. I don’t know how you keep up with all these resources.I’m back in the classroom now – got burned out being a technology director. Love working with the students. Enjoy being able to share integrating technology with curriculum with other teachers. Thanks for always looking out for us!Tina (mstina)
