The final work is saved as a iBook Author file, then exported as both an iBook file and as a PDF. Work must be uploaded to their ePortfolios with a PDF with this assignment description and a reflection.
Reflection- I really liked creating my iBook Biopic. First, we made our shell, or outline. We had to have 4 chapters; Bio, Favorites, Hobbies, and Career. Each chapter had to have 2 or more sections in it. For homework, we gathered images from phones, iPads, cameras, computers, or brought in printed pictures. The next step was to create the content. We added our text and images. I liked this project because it you could be creative about it. You designed the layout and chose the pictures! I hope in the future we will do more projects like it!
