BookWidgets is a super easy (no programming required) way to create interactive elements to share with learners on their iPads.

A widget library presents more than thirty customizable options and a wizard talks the user through widget building.  Among the options are exit slips, worksheets, timelines, maps, an assortment of classic learning games, surveys, flashcards, media players and carousels and embedding tools.  You add your own content in the form of text images, questions.  You may share your finished widget as a link or embed it on any website.  Analytics allow teachers to track and assess user activity.
