My eBook page created using Microsoft PowerPoint

This week was all about e-books! We learnt that they are literature in electronic/digital form. The task we were assigned was to create an e-book page about transport, which would then be collated with the rest of the pages made by the tutorial group (click here to see the example of what we created: eBook Transport Page). The result was a complete book constructed by different people which would be a good activity for students. I was surprised to see that the process of creating this book could be achieved using ‘Power Point’ which shows its versatility. I would definitely like to try this project one day in the classroom as I think it would be a motivating and fun activity and the website created by this group will be a useful teacher resource detailing how to do it.

 

The group also created a reviewed list of links with examples of pre-made e-books to use in the classroom. I think these are a great idea because they allow students to read literature in a new setting and one that may appeal to them more because of the interactive nature involved. They also displayed an example of an e-book they had made which shows that teachers can experiment with making their own ICT resources to suit a particular unit of work.
