Using Book Builder in the Classroom

Some basics of setting up a book include:

Creating a title page - this should grab your audience's attention and preferably include a picture that corresponds with the content.

Making a Table of Contents - this pretty much creates itself after you add a "Table of Contents" page, probably after the title page. Depending on what you're creating the book for, each page will have varying amounts of text. For some books, you might not even want a table of contents.

Choosing a Layout - for each page following the table of contents, you will need to choose a page layout. Think about where you'd like a picture, if you even need one.

Adding Pictures - lastly, if you choose a layout with pictures, you'll need to add pictures. To add one, you first need to have the file on your computer. Once you have the picture saved, you just need to browse and find where it is. Book Builder will add it from there!
