There is a tutorial on using the bookcreator for Wikipedia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1K03AZfpDM&feature=player_embedded#! The main difference is that instead of clicking a link on the left side, you should go to this page http://orbit.educ.cam.ac.uk/wiki/Special:Book to start creating your book.
In order to create ''your own'' ORBIT resource book, compiled from resources you select you should:
# Go to this page on our wiki [[Special:Book]]
# Navigate to individual resources pages
# Use the 'add to book' feature - which will appear at the top of each resource page - to add that page to your book
# Click 'show book' on the same dialogue box at the top of the page
# Use the page you're sent to (at [[Special:Book]]) to check the contents of your book, and download it in PDF format
 
For more detail, check the tutorial video for Wikipedia http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1K03AZfpDM&feature=player_embedded#!

If you have any books you'd like to create, link them here. If you have any you've written definitions for, do the same - we'd love to share them!
If you have created your very own ORBIT book and would like to share it with ORBIT users you can do that by using the [[Special:Book]] page again!  All you need to do is:
E.g., one book might cover ICT in interactive pedagogy
# Create a book as described above
# Go to the page [[Special:Book]]
# Navigate towards the bottom right hand side, to find "Save and share your book", give it a name (make it descriptive!) and change the selection to ORBIT/Books, and click 'save'.
 
We'd love to see other people's books, and we hope to be able to add more ourselves as the project grows. If you'd like some inspiration, to give a few examples it'd be great to see how people compile books on:
#ICT in interactive pedagogy
#ICT in the different subjects (and for use in Teacher Education sessions themselves)
#Primary/Secondary pedagogy
