IDEAS FOR USING E-BOOKS

So you've downloaded an e-book but you don't know what to do with it? Try one of these suggestions.

  • Use the online or CD version of a textbook for remediation or to assist students with special needs. (Some versions even read aloud the text and highlight each word as it is read.)

  • Have students compare two essays or poems by downloading both, copying them into Word documents, and highlighting the similarities.

  • Find online versions of local or national political candidates' position papers and have students read them and check online sources to determine the accuracy of the candidates' statements.

  • Copy a nursery rhyme into a Word document and have younger children insert clip art into the pages to create their own custom storybooks.

  • Record students narrating a short story, poem, essay, or novel and save both the sound and text to a PowerPoint presentation.
