I've written about the service before, but as a service to them and to readers who haven't seen it before like to highlight some of Widbook's features again. </i><br/><br/><a href="http://www.widbook.com/" target="_blank">Widbook</a> is a platform designed to help people collaboratively create multimedia books. The service is part multimedia book authoring tool and part social network. Mashable called it "the YouTube of books." On Widbook you can create a digital book that contains text, images, and<br/> videos. Widbook is collaborative because you can invite others to make <br/>contributions to your books. To use Widbook you have to create a profile<br/> on the service. The books that you create become a part of your <br/>profile. If you allow it, other Widbook users can add content and or <br/>comments to your books. Likewise, you can search for others' books and <br/>make contributions to their books.<br/><br/><br/><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="309" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/42860220" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="550"></iframe> <br/><a href="http://vimeo.com/42860220">Widbook - Write, read and share!</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/widbook">Widbook</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Applications for Education</b></span><br/><a href="http://www.widbook.com/" target="_blank">Widbook</a> could be used by a class of students to collaborate on a creative writing project in a kind of "fan fiction" style. You could also use Widbook to create multimedia reference books for your students. Or have your students create their own multimedia reference books. Another possible use for Widbook is to have students create digital portfolios of their best multimedia works. <div class="blogger-post-footer"><i>This post originally appeared on <a href="http://freetech4teachers.com/">Free Technology for Teachers</a><br/></i>.<br/><br/>Come learn with me at the <a href="http://practicaledtech.com/2013/04/08/come-to-the-practical-ed-tech-summer-camp/">Practical Ed Tech Summer Camp</a>.<br/><br /></div><div class="feedflare"><br/><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=yIl2AUoC8zA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:F7zBnMyn0Lo"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=7Q72WNTAKBA"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=qj6IDK7rITs"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?i=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:V_sGLiPBpWU"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:I9og5sOYxJI"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=I9og5sOYxJI"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?a=6U6cr_LR368:ja7ZebnnOS4:bcOpcFrp8Mo"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/freetech4teachers/cGEY?d=bcOpcFrp8Mo"></img></a><br/></div><img height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~4/6U6cr_LR368" width="1"/><br/><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/freetech4teachers/cGEY/~3/6U6cr_LR368/collaboratively-create-multimedia-books.html" rel="nofollow">Free Technology for Teachers</a>
