Return to Creative Web Tools Overview

**Bookemon ** []



Bookemon is a web tool that allows users to create a book online, and then choose to have the book published in a paper copy, or shared electronically through email, Facebook, or Twitter. This tool does not lend itself to only story book writings. Users of Bookemon can create cookbooks, yearbooks, family history books, photobooks, journals, and much more. To begin creating books, users must first visit the Bookemon website and create an account. The site only requires an email address and to verify that the user is at least 13 years old.



Bookemon can be used as an effective instructional tool in third through twelfth grade levels. Teachers can introduce Bookemon to their class by having students work with partners to create a familiar story, such as Little Red Riding Hood or The Three Little Pigs. This would allow students the opportunity to get accustomed to the program and features while working together with another student. Next, students can create their own book. The book topics are endless, ranging from science terms to fictional stories. When students are finished with their books, they will save them and then have the option of sending the book to a friend. Students can share the books by typing in any email address, which sends a link to the book on the website. Students could email the book to the teacher for grading. They could also send it to friends, parents, and grandparents. Finally, Bookemon users have the option of paying less than $30 to have the book printed on paper. Teachers in any field can use Bookemon as long as their students can type words on a computer. English as a Second Language students can create books about the English vocabulary words they are learning. Special Education students can use Bookemon to work towards their specific goals written in their individual education plans.

As mentioned earlier, Bookemon is a great resource for students to demonstrate their knowledge on grade level concepts, for users to share information such as family history, or to instruct others as in a cookbook format.
