In our day and age technology is starting to be a key contributor to the way and how we learn or information in classrooms and just everyday life. When I was growing up there was not technology like ipads, kindles, or even high speed internet. But as the years have gone by technology has gotten stronger and better over time which has made life way more easier for or our everyday life. I was doing some research and found this website ( http://online.southuniversity.edu/blog/post/How-Students-Benefit-from-Learning-with-Ebooks.aspx ) that gave examples of how student can benefit from ebook learning. For example:
Ebooks can be delivered instantly.
They're easily portable.
Digital books accommodate more learning styles.
Affordability reigns supreme.
These are just some of the examples that show how eBooks can be beneficial and their are plenty more out there to explore.
Hi Rakeem,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you using ebook in learning is great. Every semester I wait for two weeks to get my books. I think ebook will solve my problem :)
Rakeem,
ReplyDeleteI think that you are correct that Digital Books can be beneficial to student learning. Our library media specialist just ordered a bunch of these ebooks for our library. Just as you would go to the library and 'check out' the book, we can do the same with the digital readers. It is awesome because we can 'check out' entire class sets of the same book and use them for instruction. You can also adjust the reading level of the books. Great topic!

Rakeem, ebooks for learning is a very interesting topic and has great potential in education. A few years ago there was an initiative trying to replace students' backpack with the Kindle ebook reader. Now there are a lot more choices and great potential for students to benefit from ebooks.
ReplyDeleteHi Rakeem,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dr. Lei, that with the change in providing the choice of an e-book for students it will be more beneficial for them to ensure they have all the required books with them at all times. It would also be more cost-effective for students, particularly in a College/University when books are priced very high. It will be interesting to see what the future holds within this field. In the past many of my professors excluded the use of e-books, however I believe that, that exclusion has begun to change.
