Empowering Student Creativity with Book Creator in the Library...Find Our Webinar Recording and Resources Here, Friends.

                       

Last week at FETC, I loved sharing how we use Book Creator as Future Ready Librarians and educators.  

One of the webinars I shared from 2025, was the one I did with Katie Fielding in October, How Book Creator Support Future Ready Librarians.  In our webinar we explored how Book Creator helps librarians document, teach, and inspire through creative digital storytelling and so much more. 

From the updated Future Ready Librarian Framework 3.0 to the latest AI and digital literacy templates, here’s how you can use Book Creator to bring your library to life.

Find all the resources you need for your library and your professional growth on our Teacher-Librarian page, along with the webinar recording here.

A Special Choice Board For Martin Luther King Jr. Day With PebbleGo, Capstone Interactive eBooks, Pixel Art, An Animated I Have A Dream Speech and More!

                  

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is tomorrow on January 19, 2026.

I have put together a special set of resource to use as we learn more about and celebrate this very special day.  

The first resource is the Martin Luther King Jr. Choice Board.

On the choice board, I included the PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next articles about Martin Luther King Jr. and MLK Jr. Day; 

four Capstone Interactive eBooks, which we also have in our library for teachers and students to check out and read (You can find these interactive eBooks and print books here on the Capstone site). 

For this part of the choice board, you can add your own links to PebbleGo and PebbleGo Next, and the Capstone Interactive eBooks, if you have them for your library and school.  Or you can always add alternative resources too. 

I am very excited about this new addition to this choice board.  Our kids can create a pixel art portrait of MLK, Jr with the StickTogether Pixel Art Canvas found here.  This is free for everyone to use and our kids always have so much fun creating pixel art.  I can't wait to see all of the different MLK Jr. pixel art they create. 

There is an Art Hub for Kids video on How To Draw Martin Luther King, and...

...several videos, including one of his I Have A Dream speech. 

I want to point out a really neat new resource from The Martin Luther King Jr Research and Education Institute at  Stanford University.  It is called Freedom Ring. It is Martin Luther King, Jr's I Have A Dream speech animated. 

You will find that in the upper left corner of the choice board and here.  It can be played as the class watches too.  

Thank you Mrs. Stem for sharing this resource with me. :) 

You can find the link to make a copy of the choice board here. You can then add your own links to PebbleGo, PebbleGo Next and the Capstone eBooks, and any other resources you might want to share.

And remember, to share with your students, just to to File, Share and Publish to the Web.  That is the link you want to share with students. 

I hope you enjoy using this choice board and these resources to celebrate this special day as we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. 

You've Been Book'd With Books To Honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day

 

January 19 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 

It is always celebrated on the 3rd Monday of January.  This is a special day to honor his life and legacy. 

I brought together 17 amazing books about Martin Luther King Jr. in this choice board.  You will find each book linked to Follett Content Titlewave, and the entire Titlewave list can be found in the choice board too.
