Audio books were a technology breakthrough in education
as early as the 1950s. Now, in the 21st century, multiple
online resources are becoming widely available and useful
to classroom instruction. Instructional materials in digital
formats have the potential of being used in a variety of
ways and can be adapted to all students in addition to meeting
the needs of special populations. In this two-part webinar,
we will discuss practical teacher-based applications using
online books and e-text files to meet student needs.
- How has technology made unprecedented educational opportunities available?
- What has changed over time that made it imperative for educators to know about online books?
- What do you need to be aware of regarding copyright when accessing digital files for students?
- What are some tips for tapping the “pipeline” of digital materials for students to access the flow?
- How do you keep the downloaded files organized?
- Are there ways to keep everything straight when working with multiple students?
- Where do you store e-files? Examples of posting material on a school server - the benefits.
Resource list will be made available.
Time will be set aside for discussion at the end of the presentation.
