eBooks or Textbooks?

Technology continues!!! A typewriter to a computer; house phone to cell phone; now a textbook to an eBook? Ebooks are an electronic version of a printed book. I believe they are very convenient and accessible as they can translate into another language, easy for note taking, and bookmarking, and also an organizer all in one!! Also the eBooks save the school money from out-dated textbooks and also the expense of paper. One great thing I believe is that it encourages students learning in reading because of the interaction with technology. It makes learning more fun like playing a video game.

Check out eBooks online to find the right one for you!

Interactive Whiteboards

Interactive Whiteboards!!! The chalk boards and white erase boards have progressed even further.  Interactive whiteboards can be used in any grade level for teaching.  It is a large interactive display that connects to a computer and projector.  The projector then projects the computers desktop onto the whiteboards surface where teachers and even students can control the computer by a pen, finger, or other gadgets.  The interactive whiteboard is a very effective instructional strategy for teachers and students.  It allows teachers to record and save their lessons, post material again if a student missed some information, shows maps, graphs, and charts easily, and instantly forms ideas and presentations. Interactive boards not only help the teachers with student learning, but also provide new ways to teach lessons. For more information and ideas you can check the following link below.
