Reflection on
E-Book
(yes an ONLINE book)
(yes an ONLINE book)
The E-book that I
created was on my Cohort’s famous frog!
I had originally made this story into a real book for students in a PLC
class but have now made a book that can reach millions of children – too cool! I had used Slide Rocket before but was not totally
comfortable with the website so I thought I would try it out again! I have become quite familiar with the tool
and feel that it is just like another form of Power Point but different.
What I learned is
that such a basic writing assignment, creating a book, can integrate many
different aspects of the curriculum and can help students become tech savvy! Through this I have learned how to use an
online tool, integrate pictures, animations, and text – A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I could see myself using this in any
classroom for any assignment! I believe
that learners, from Kindergarten to Grade 12, can make E-Books and learn from
them. This is a great way to integrate
collaboration into the classroom and allow personal choice and freedom. Students could make books on so many
different topics – language, social studies, science, French, math,
health...and SO much more! The types of
books could range from an “All About Me” book to a book on the war of 1812 –
the ideas and uses are endless. Although
I would never have thought that online books could be so simple and effective
and moving forward I plan to not online write my own books but have my students
write them too!
