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.
