Digital Reading: Smore Tech 8 by Cari White

Hi Cari-

Our district purchased MyOn books. My school has a subscription to Tumblebooks. I am interested in which application you had the students use for digital journal entries.

Thaks for this Smore Tech experience!

I am in a charter school, so I do not have access to a lot of funds to subscribe. I use Tumblebooks through my Public Library. I have used Starfalll, as well. What device do your students use to journal? What program did you use?

Thank you for all the wonderful and inspiring information!

Our school accesses Tumblebooks through our local Public Library. We also use We Give Books. Our school district is just starting to embrace e-books and is currently researching various platforms that would work for all of our schools in our district.

I really love your idea of how to connect digital and print books as well as the extension activity that you used. Would it be okay to borrow your idea?

I am in a K-4 school. We use We Give Books, Starfall and several databases: Facts4Me, CultureGrams, World Almanac for Kids, FactCite, EBSCOhost and have some digital titles from Capstone. We also have access to Hoopla and Overdrive through our public library. Our library has an I-pad, 3 Kindles and a Nook.

Project all my read-alouds on our SMARTBoard.

Have really enjoyed Smore Tech this summer and am looking forward to the PLC with the book Digital Reading. Just got my copy!

Thank you for all your inspiration.
