Public Schools has joined a consortium to purchase eBooks for our students. In
December, some staff and a few students were able to pilot the project.
January, all other students were able to acquire a username and password to
access the eBooks. Several 7-12 students are able to use their iPods, iPads or
phones to access and read the books.
The
are using their iPads
to read the eBooks in school. Each student 2-6 has their own username and
password and during library or free time they read their books. Kindergarten
and First Graders are reading eBooks on their iPads but the teachers are
checking the books out for them. The eBooks give our students the opportunity
to utilize their iPads in a new way. Make sure you ask your child about
the eBooks and the Magic Wall.
