You need four resources for today's session on making an iBook using iBooks Author:
 * 1) [|Greg Pugh's tutorial for making an iBook using iBooks Author]
 * 2) The directions (you should have been given a printout of this)
 * 3) [[file:iBookOrganizer.Fall2016.docx]]
 * 4) The database where all your research on the apps is located (just copy and paste the text you want from there to put in your iBook)
 * 5) Whatever you gathered that you want to put in your iBook (screenshots, graphics,...)
 * 6) Copyright Section
 * 7) Put Copyright, this year, your name.
 * 8) Give credit for graphics:
 * 9) Graphics from iBooks Author library. Used with permission. OR write after all the other photo credits, "All other graphics from iBooks Author library. Used with permission."
 * 10) Photo credits

When you get to the part about using an iPad to preview your book, the UMF iPads are blocked from that feature (it's a setting on the iPads for security since they are used by multiple people). However, if you email a copy of your iBook to yourself or post a copy of it on a wiki, you can then open it in iBooks on your iPad.

Expectations for the final draft of your iBook:
 * The iBook contains all the information you researched and that's in the database (where it came from, why it’s great to use in the classroom, an example of how you could use it to help students learn, cost, how it could benefit students with special needs including English Language Learners, …).
 * The iBook is organized in a logical order that grabs the reader's attention and leaves the reader feeling informed about the app.
 * The conventions of English convey the information and do not interfere with communication.
 * correct spelling of all words
 * correct punctuation
 * correct and consistent capitalization
 * correct photo/graphic credits
 * correct APA citation of outside information sources, if needed
 * complete and consistent formatting (title, headers, table of contents,...)
 * The iBook serves as an attractive and organized tool that you could use in your presentation (instead of a PowerPoint or other visual presentation tool) that could also be a standalone informational piece about your app.

Additional Resource: To use the video widget with a youtube video, you have to get the youtube video downloaded in a certain format.
 * 1) here's [|a less-than-three-minute-video] on how to use [|ibooksgenerator.com]
 * 2) If that doesn't work, use a youtube download site (avoid downloading software onto your computer, use a site that converts the youtube video to a file and all you're downloading is the movie file). Once you have the file on your computer, you can drag and drop it into the video widget.
