Simplebooklet

Simplebooklet | eBooks Making | Scoop.it
Code free digital sliders and flip books. Publish everywhere.
ClassroomAid's insight:

We’d love to give away some free accounts. What we can do is if a teacher signs up for the $5 EDU account, we’ll give them 30 student sub accounts for free. We charge 50 cents a student account so it would be a $15 dollar value in savings. A teacher can create a student account right within their own account and they get complete editorial control over any booklet created.

To get the free student accounts, a teacher just needs to upgrade to the $5 EDU account and then either live chat or email us with their account name and mention “classroom aid blog”.
