Ebooks In The Classroom


I was recently introduced to the idea of "Ebooks". Basically, it is an opportunity to tell a story in a digital format. To explore this technological teaching strategy, I created my own Ebook using Sliderocket.



Through creating this Ebook, I have learned about the power of using pictures and a few words to tell a story. I would consider using this activity in the classroom for students to communicate a story to the class. It would be useful in a unit to stick with a theme, like the one I used for my Ebook; "Inspired". I would suggest that students add an audio track of them verbally narrating their Ebook, or it could be incorporated into an oral speech given in front of the class.

What a unique way to encourage students to tell stories!
