What is an electronic storybook?
An
electronic storybook (e-book) is a book that is read (or listened
to) on a computer. Publishing
companies produce high quality e-books with incredible graphics,
sound and interactivity. For example, you can click on objects in
an illustration to learn more about a particular object by having
words pop up (vocabulary development), a voiced description, or
music. The student may have the computer read the book or the student
may read the book independently, calling upon the computer for help
with difficult passages or words.
Student produced e-books may or may not contain all of the above
elements. The finished electronic book can vary from a simply illustrated
self read book to an interactive book created as a website with
links to sounds, animated illustrations, and interactive options.
How far you take the concept of an e-book is entirely up to you!
