We have been began the "Getting Appy" portion of our 36 Things WU course, and the first app we played with was Book Creator. Book Creator is exactly what it sounds like, it's a way for our students to create interactive stories and presentations to share. One of the coolest things about Book Creator is the fact that students can collaborate on projects via their iPads. Collaboration through technology is one of the best new uses of technology I have seen. It allows technology to not be so individual, and more "social."
This app is not too different than other presentation software, besides the fact that it breaks it down into a page-by-page, book style format, instead of a slide-by-slide format. This app could be a lot of fun for many classes, by using your own voice, videos, photos, and more to easily personalize your book. The app is also very conducive for sharing your book via pdf, email, Google Drive, and more.
Thanks!
