Book4U is a new Australia based service that allows teachers to effectively print their students’ work in a yearbook format.
The application allows the printing of a vast assortment of books such as class yearbooks, graduation books, project books and yearbooks.
All you have to do is to use the interface provided on the website; you don’t have to download anything—this becomes the greatest advantage of Book4U.
It is possible to tweak the book in several ways so that the finished product is just according to the wishes of the teachers and the students.
For the teachers, Book4U is a veritable boon.
Using this application, they no longer have to create the books of their students when each academic year has ended.
The templates of the books are automatically prepared by Book4U and then these teachers need to just give them a different look using the features provided and they are done.
It is just a matter of a few clicks to get the book ready for presentation.
If you are a teacher wishing to use this application, you will have to register yourself.
These teachers can then add their students, each of whom will have their own logins as well.
The students can submit their files individually which can be in the Word, Photoshop, Publisher or any other such similar format.
It is possible for every student to send files on an individual basis, or even a group of students can work on a single file and then send it.
Building a book here requires collaboration and every person is expected to submit something or the other toward the book that is being made.
The ultimate decision about the book’s look and feel lies with the teacher supervising it.
Various things can be done during the formation stage of the book—the teacher can call for some modifications and additions or deletions as needed.
The presentation of the book is the teacher’s call.
The call for printing the book is only made when everyone that has contributed toward the book and the teacher are pleased with the way the book has turned out.
This approval is indicated by the teacher.
It is understandable that Book4U is a novel concept, but is that all that makes it such a fantastic thing?
Quite evidently, the teachers are beaming about this application; they don’t have to get totally flustered when making books for their students.
This is a great way to get all students to chip in their contributions to the book—it also helps them hone their creative talents.
Everyone can keep track of what is happening with the yearbook and they can decide when it is really completed and must go for printing.
Then there is always the fact that no application needs to be downloaded and that certainly adds a lot of value to the Book4U idea.
