I recently had my first encounter with eBooks and I have fallen in love with this technological application. Why has it won me over? It has won my heart because I can see the possibilities that it promises with helping to motivate students to want to read and write. Once students have access to a computer I believe that introducing them to eBooks might well be the catalyst to place them on the path to becoming lifelong readers and writers.
Having students work in heterogeneous groups on the production of eBooks can allow them the opportunity to participate fully according to their individual strengths and learning styles.This type of activity could also facilitate peer tutoring and student will inevitably learn from each other.For a class of struggling readers and writers the production of and eBook after and LEA lesson for example can serve as an authentic assessment tool, a motivator, reinforcement and a published record of students' creation based on their experiences.
