Math Textbook Author Using Book Creator 
Choose Your Own Math Adventure - A Performance Project
In this task, students will use the Book Creator app to author a multi-media mathematics chapter or guide. This eBook should serve as a study resource to the author(s) as well as classmates. Including strategies presented in class that may not be found in traditional textbooks is highly encouraged. Likewise, since this is a multi-touch eBook, using apps and tools that showcase technology and interactive features are required.
