ReadCloud provides the answer to one of the most pressing questions librarians and teachers are facing today: What is your eBook strategy?
ReadCloud is the world's first social eReader software with built-in learning tools and a Digital Library Management system that works on any platform.
Our immersive digital library system connects teachers, students and eBooks through online and offline social reading classrooms. ReadCloud facilitates classroom conversations embedded within eBooks through rich media such as comments, videos, pictures and sound bites.
Our technology mimics real life classroom discussions. ReadCloud provides a digital reading ecosystem for each school.
Social Interaction
ReadCloud enables conversations to take place real-time within each book and tailored for each classroom. Teachers can seed a book with comments progressively splattered throughout the book viewable in the margins. Students can participate by commenting further within the book and marking the annotations as private, public or for the attention of a specific classroom. Annotations can be filtered by teacher or classroom discussion. Rich text and media such as video, images or sound bites can all be embeded within the margins of each book by student and teacher alike.
Every annotation can be shared within the classroom, copied to an email or posted to a social network such as Twitter, Facebook or Myspace. Books are about learning through stories and the sharing of information. ReadCloud gives students and teachers a toolset to spread and share the contents of books like never before.
There you go.
