Ten teachers in several disciplines will use BookCreator next year to engage students in creating eBooks. Students can write, record, collaborate, publish and share their fiction and non-fiction works and classroom projects.
BookCreator has been licensed for an initial pilot during academic year 2025-2026 to boost student's productive academic skills as part of the CVUSD Writes & Creates! library program. Students in the arts, social sciences and sciences will be crafting their digital books in several classes.
At the library, all CVHS students will be invited to create
- explainer books to showcase something they know how to teach
- children's read-aloud books to read to younger kids
- written/spoken word poetry during National Poetry Month
More information for teachers about the program and BookCreator can be found on the Teachers Instructional Services area of the library website. The program will be assessed in Spring 2026 at which time, the libraries will explore options for supporting more librarians, teachers and school sites. If expanded, early adopter teachers and the District Librarian will develop professional development sessions to engage more teachers in 2026-2027.
