Make sure you visit the Langwitches site for a comprehensive blog on technology in education and elearning. Here is a section of one of her current posts. Enjoy!!!
Recently I had created a “Read-Along” book for our first graders to accompany their Magic Tree House podcast and am continuing to have fun creating e-books for my iPad from Word Documents, pdfs and thematic blog posts from Langwitches. Next year, we will have an iPad cart to use with our students and I am looking forward to brainstorming more ideas and opportunities to allow students to create and organize their own e-books on the iPad.
- What are the advantages/disadvantages of creating our own e-books instead of purchased textbooks?
- What new learning opportunities can creating your e-book bring to your classroom?
- How can we integrate teacher-created e-books, personalized for students?
- Will student created e-books motivate, engage and empower learners?
