About BookWidgets
Create engaging exercises for iPads and iPhones in minutes: Worksheets, Games, Quizzes, Maps, Timelines, and much more. Easily share a wide variety of beautiful and fun activities with your classroom, even if you're not a tech wizard.
Choose from a broad range of activity types, and add your own text, images, questions and imagination. Your “widget” can be shared privately with a simple link, or embedded in any learning management system, and works on any device. BookWidgets is great for blended learning, flipped classrooms, as well as more traditional classrooms. Our analytics can track learner activity, so teachers can easily review and grade student work.
BookWidgets works seamlessly with other educational apps like Showbie, iTunes U, iBooks Author, Explain Everything, Book Creator and many others.

“With BookWidgets, teachers don't have to force the kids to work on their exercises. They can fill in gaps and practice lessons as many times as they wish. This makes good students better and average students achieve levels they hadn't even aspired to before.” - Brian Dawson, 1:1 iPad Coordinator
“If you aren't using BookWidgets in your 1:1 classroom, you are missing out on one of the best educational tools available.” - Harry Dickens, Instructional Technology Consultant
“Using BookWidgets is just brilliant, I'm only limited by my own creativity now.” - Frans Ittmann, Apple Distinguished Educator
“My pupils were cheering in class today, because they got BookWidgets for homework. Feeling motivated!“ - Martin Ringenaldus, Language teacher
