eBook

The following video is an eBook I created using Microsoft PowerPoint.  PowerPoint is such a versatile and an easy tool to use.  Whether creating an office presentation or a children's eBook, PowerPoint has features that will make your presentation fun and exciting!  I love using the animations in PowerPoint, which is clearly visible by my Introduction to Fencing eBook.  I was very impressed by how easy it was to add sound to my eBook.  With a couple clicks of a button I was recording, just like that.  Also, the simplicity of changing my document from a ppt. document to a wmv. movie was also a fairly harmless process (once I Googled how to complete such a transition).

Creating class eBooks is a great way to get to know your students; their likes and dislikes, their interests, their hobbies, the possibilities are endless.  Flexible by nature, eBooks can be used for all subject areas.  Writers' Workshop would be a perfect way to tie an eBook into the curriculum.  Students would be able to go through all the writing processes and create an eBook as their final task.  I know that eBooks can be used in Science class, because even though it was eons ago, I created an eBook for my OAC chemistry class on "Buffers".
