E-books or Easy books

I have been very busy trying to keep up with all the assignments for the course EDRL 6004 that I neglected to do any blogging. Well I can breathe a little easier right now since I have 'turneditin'. Don't let me get carried away. That's for another day. Today e-books are part of my diet. I am truly fascinated by these e-books.The different websites posted by Cherisse and the team whetted my appetite.I was truly hungry to learn more.I can picture my grandson now.He has just turned four and he loves to read and be read to. He would be captivated by this technology. My work is cut out for me on his next visit.

These e-books can definitely assist in children's reading development. Even if they cannot read their listening skills will be sharpened and with the words visible as the book is being read children can make connections.The advantages are too many to mention in this post. As discussions continued in class the time came to make an e-book. Me! I can't make an e-book. But under the guidance of Cherisse and the support of my colleagues I was able to accomplish the task, voice et al. If I could do it then anyone could do it. The children can definitely do it. What an interesting technology for the classroom.
