The Ideal Classroom, Modeling and Inspiring Creativity

For my first blog post, the assignment asked me to describe the ideal classroom where creativity would be modeled and inspired.  I was asked to share my thoughts in a creative manner. I debated and changed my mind several times about how to share this. At first, I was going to create an iMovie trailer, but I wanted to use a technology tool that I didn't feel totally comfortable with so that I could learn more about it to possibly be able to use with my students in the future. 

I decided to create a book using the "Book Creator" app.  I believe the app has updated since I first used it, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to explore the app more and think about the possible opportunities to implement it into my 6th grade ELA classes. 

This project really took a great deal of time and energy to push my thinking to what my ideal classroom would be if there was no limits on anything at all, living in a dream world! 

Below you will find the PDF version which is a static view of the book. Click here to download and open the epub version you will find the links to the images I used to create the book. I used Google's search to find images that were 'labeled for noncommercial reuse'.
