While a longtime user of audiobooks, especially when I was a travelling t/l and lived out west, my first ebook experience occurred while overseas at Christmas. Three of us were driving through southern Italy, and for me the actual driving in Italy experience was very scary, even though I was only a passenger! I dealt with the really crazy bits by burying my nose in my ipad and revisiting the familiar, comforting world of "Anne of Green Gables." Sad but true.
In about a week's time our regional cluster of teacher-librarians and library officers is having a full day's inservice on ebooks and I am looking forward to the input which will hopefully inform future directions for our school regarding ebooks.
Currently we are trialling ipads in the early years classrooms and they may also become an ebook platform for us
We have recently subscribed to World Book Online, and part of that package includes over 5000 ebooks (if you purchase the "Advanced" component which is directed to upper primary and secondary users).
Well done checking out the Ebooks & Audiobooks. It sounds like they were already an area of interest for you. Great work on comleting the whole course too. I hope you have discovered some handy applications you will continue to use...well done!!!
