Students are learning how to state commands. I would like them to use something like Book Creator in order to create a manual of do/s and don't/s on a topic of interest to them. If you have an idea of an app that would be better suited for this idea, I'd appreciate hearing that. I'm also wondering how these projects get saved and transferred to me. Thank you. I would like to do this project the week of January 30-February 3.
