My chose to report on the "100 apps," and I chose to to focus on on-line books. The "100 apps," site gives a link to on-line books. These books can be viewed if you sign up with an account. Soem texts cannot be viewed ion full lenght and the amount of texts available on thsi site in limited.
This is useful for teachers and students because they studnets will not have to purchase the book themselves. The students can simply view them form their computers. Thius site also allows for a discussion on the bookos so the students/ teachers can pose questions and comments to each other and engae in a converstation ont he book when they are not in class.
In order to use this site teacher will need to take in upon themselves to learn the site and sign up. They cannot just say , "I visited the site, I know how to use it." The teacher should also be m,indful of the fact that not all studnets have a computer.
This site definelty depicts wehre our society is going because book used to be in print and know more and more books are available on-line for free.
This is such a great idea because some schools do not have enough books for students to be able to take home with them. It is also a green alternative. I think it would also help students when finding sources for papers because they would be able to look at a book immediately rather than waiting to see if the library had it.
ReplyDeleteI agree it would help students find sources for papers. It would also eliminate the issue of heavy backpacks.
