Creating a class in EpicBooks
I've had a few people contact me about how to set up their class in Epic Books. If you're a visual learner like I am this may help you out... I've put together a few screen shots with simple directions that should get you started. Just click on the picture below to view.
Now that you've got your class set up- interested in joining our Collaborative EpicBooks Reading Project? Click here to view the blog posts and find the current month's books for #EpicPals or here to follow the #EpicPals hashtag on Twitter

March Epic Padlet Collaborative Project
Our March Epic / Padlet Collaborative Reading project is ready to go. Come join in on this collaborative project. If you need more information feel free to contact me or check out this post
You can access the March Google Doc by clicking here or on the picture to the right. Simply print off the doc for each of your students, one of your guided reading groups, or post somewhere in your room for all of your students to access- whatever works best for you!
The QR codes will take your students directly to the coordinating Padlet board- no url's needed- always a plus with young learners! Please don't be concerned about perfect spelling, this is meant to be a place where kiddos can read and respond to text authentically.
As for how students should respond, feel free to steer your students in the direction that you'd like and that is appropriate for your group. The Padlets are open ended so they will best fit the needs of your class. I will at times put a question on the google doc or on the Padlet but these can simply be a springboard if needed and are not required.
If you have access to the books in another format- feel free to utilize them. Books do not have to be read on Epic.
One last side note, feel free to do any or all of the books for the month. Books do not have to be in any particular order.

I've had several people ask how to set up individual student accounts in Epic. I've put together a few screen shots to help you through the process. You can access the slides here.
