Some time ago I tried making 'something' on the computer I feel it was supposed to be an ebook, after class I realised how simple it was to put together an ebook by using a simple program that we use so often.
We do not always consider that children have different learning styles. The learning styles could be descrided as visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile. Visual learners prefers to have a picture to view when something is being described to them; ebooks help to achieve this since they have pictures to view with the written information. Students, on the other hand, who are auditory learners remember best through verbal repitition and also remember verbal instructions well, through the use of ebooks students who may be auditory learners will be able to comfortably use the technology. Ebooks offer the repition of words if needed by the struggling reader who may be an auditory learner. The ebook can be used for retelling which will eventually improve comprehension skills.'Retellings and other response activities encourage students to create versions of text of their own language. Students reconstruct stories they practice sequencing events',which is a compehension skill that also helps with writing, one of the writing traits being organization.(Milby & Rhodes, 2007)
