ebooks
Well we learnt how to crate eBooks and i must tell you that we were all excited about what we learnt. The use of navigation nubs and the adding of sound to the project was exciting for us as we were able to create an eBook which we did not know how to create before. I am just thinking that if we were so excited and motivated by our experience creating eBooks and our students are more technology based than us, then what will happen when we begin to teach them to do this. I can picture the excitement and the motivation they will have to learn to create through Web 2.0 technology. We can teach phonics, phonemic awareness, letter sound co-relation, comprehension, listening skills and much more. This tool is surely a winner in student literacy and the mastery of reading.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I really enjoy the eBooks. At first I thought it would have been difficult to create but after much practice, I got it right.
This tool is excellent for struggling readers because it will motivate them to learn. More so, I want to use this to teach fluency.Fluency is extremely important for understanding texts and this is an area that teachers sometimes ignore.
Imagine I have seen eBooks on the internet, looked at them but never considered the many possibilities until now. I must say that we were exposed to several websites on eBooks and as reading specialists,we must use these to the best of our abilities.I shared these books with several of my friends and they can't thank me enough!
