Re: [LM_NET] ebooks, audio ebooks

[dana byard <danalovesbooks@YAHOO.COM>]

I use ebooks in my elementary school. I have several collections from 
isaveatree.com and they are being used in a variety of ways at my school. They have 
free marc records that come with them, so they are listed in my catalog. There is 
also a menu page that the teachers and students can select a book from. Teachers 
can use them as instructional tools when they are introducing a concept. Students 
can use them at the classroom computer, in the media center or in the computer lab. 
Check out the website for isaveatree.

Last week I asked if any school libraries were using ebooks or audio ebooks.
I heard from only one HS that has ebooks as part of a school collection.
What is your professional opinion of ebooks in a school setting? How would
they be used? Can teachers keep an ebook on their school sites for kids to
access (no more I lost my book)? Is this 'the next big thing'? What about
audio ebooks? Will students someday be downloading fiction to their i-pods?
