Lissa Davies on 21 May 11"What it is: IKT FOR LAGET out of Norway has created a fantastic ebook all about Energy. This is more than just a book that happens to be online (I know we have all seen those!), this is an interactive book that is great for ALL of your learners. In addition to the text and bold images in the book, there is an audio feature on every page that will read the text to students. Click on the video icon to watch a related video. Students can even download related images from some of the films for use in their own projects where they reflect or construct their own understanding. Additional resources and links are provided within the book for teachers, parents, and students. All of the additional content "enlarges the book" into something really useful for learning and exploring. This is a big step in the right direction for ebooks- no more trying to pass off a PDF as a digital ebook, this is the real deal. How to integrate the Digital Energy Book into the classroom: If you study energy in your science curriculum this ebook is a super resource and addition to your classroom library. Set up the ebook on classroom computers during independent reading time for some non-fiction reading material. The ebook is great for all levels of readers, confident readers can read the book independently while struggling readers may want to read along with the audio. Use the ebook as a "big book" using an interactive whiteboard or projector connected computer to read about energy as a class." iLearn Technology
