Thing 20

Talk about what you found in your exploration of eBooks, the sites you visited and what each had to offer. Similarities? Differences? Share your experience with the NHS eBook collection. How could you use eBooks with your students?

The eBooks exploration was amazing. While it may still be in its early stages, this technology has potential. I was impressed with the types of resources available. While there are a number of free offerings, there were also many items for purchase. I found a wonderful Spanish resource in the World Book Online Specialty books called Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos. I will be able to use various pages from this resource with my lower level Spanish classes for vocabulary expansion. Textbooks could be offered as eBooks eliminating the need for students to carry their books home. This is another area that I plan to spend much more time exploring during the summer.
