E-Book Resources
An interesting article which i found in the magazine MultiMedia and Internet @ Schools was about E-Book resources, which was written by Audrey P.Church. I found the concept quite interesting, however being a traditional book lover, makes me question what our techbology is coming to.
An electronic book is a digital version of a traditional print book designed to be read on a personal computer or an e-book reader. Although I find this concept extremely fascintaing, i also question the real purpose and the use in converting picture books into e-books.
I do feel it may have its positives, one such positive being the e book is able to read to children. Another poositive is allowing the students to develop different skills, not just reading. Bu learning how to use this technology increases their knoweldge, even if it is just using the e-book.
There are many free sources of E-books available; they are all listed in the magazine, MultiMedia and Internet @ Schools which is volume 12, number 4.
Here are a couple of free sources of E-Books:
– Project Gutenberg
