Have you ever created an Electronic book or E-book as it is commonly called? Well, for the first time since I have been exposed to the interactive, explosive and innovative Web tools of literacy have I felt so confident that I COULD and WOULD use a device with my students with almost immediate effect. I am so excited about this E-book that I called two of my co workers after the lab session to share my experience of creating E-books. I have been exposed to Power Point Presentations for years and have never realized that it could be so interactive.
What I love about Teacher created E-books is just that – the teacher can create the reading material to suit not only his/her class but also the individual student or small interactive instructional group found within. One major problem I had experienced working with adolescent struggling readers in the senior department is sourcing suitable books at their independent reading level that are not embarrassing for them to be seen with. Now the time I would have taken to source, I can now CREATE. Since these books are specially designed for them, it would motivate them to become more engaged readers.
E-books are definitely a “MUST TRY”.
