We spoke to Carolyn Jaynes, Leapfrog Learning Team's literacy expert,
about information and communication technologies (ICTs). There are a
variety of ICTs - websites, blogs, emails, search engines, podcasts,
YouTube and more - but the ICT we focus on during this WATcast is
e-books.
This WATcast highlights the benefits of e-books and how they promote
literacy and learning among different skill levels. Some key points
include how e-books help advance student engagement and problem solving
as well as which groups of students benefit most from using e-books.
Resources to get e-books in your classroom:
