Ebooks friend or foe

We had several presentations of e-books this week. We heard pro and cons on using E-books in the class room with students. How do you feel about using E-books in your future class rooms? Do you think the good will out way the bad? Will E-books and technology eventually replace traditional reading and education in general?

Twelve Essentials for Tech. Integration

I think that I am the first to post on this article. At least I think I am. The article was interesting in that Richard Byrne has done the leg work for all of us and has discovered twelve web sitel or technology spots that can be used by teachers and students alike. I Liked the Wikispaces, Voicethread, and Ediscio. I can see fifth ans sixth grade students getting excited about making their own study guide. The Wikispaces would allow them to build their own resource pages. I think that the Ediscio would come in handy with 1st through 4th grade. They could make their own flash cards. They could use them to study but in fact that act of making the flash cards would be a meaningful experience.
