Sometimes I stumble on an article that is pretty much perfect for the topic that I am looking for, and this is one of them. This article is about how teachers can create their own educational "digitial books" for their classrooms. The article focuses more on the subject of math and how the digital books could help. For example, the teacher can easily find eBooks online or purchase them for the classroom, but there are limitations. By creating their own eBook, the educator can include their own math strategies and really zone in on where the students are at in the curriculum. The article also writes that digital books follow many of the different educational board standards about how visual and aural lessons offered by technology can engage young children and enhance their cognitive and social abilities. The article also includes testimonies of teachers who have created their own eBooks and shown them to the students. The article then finishes off by giving many tips on how to make the digital stories successful and how to even make them with your students. Overall, this article was very informative.
I chose this article because it not only addresses the idea of using eBooks in the classroom, but also the idea of creating your own. I am creating an eBook for my computer class, as I said before, and it is really neat to see that actual teachers are making and using them. I also like how it explains how students should make their own too, or help the teacher. This article expands on my questions and ideas of how eBooks will help in the classroom. But all of my previous posts have been how eBooks can help reading. I have never even thought about how it can help math...maybe I should look more into that idea?
