Raised Digital » Student-Created Multimedia eBooks on the iPad in Grades K-3 I was down in Columbus, Ohio this week to attend eTech Ohio‘s annual educational technology conference, OETC13. I was involved in a number of interesting sessions, but my one “official” conference presentation was a BYOT titled “Student-Created Multimedia eBooks on the iPad in Grades K-3.” The Google Site I created as a resource can be found here. I included quite a bit of background information that covers the current research on ebooks for young children, types of ebooks, selecting ebooks and also evaluating ebooks. The BYOD activity for the session is here. From the conference planner: For nearly everyone, digital (or electronic) books are a rapidly growing alternative to traditional books—especially for young children of the 21st century. I had a great turnout of primary teachers interested in creating ebooks, however the conference wifi was less than cooperative, which made downloading my recommended apps difficult for those in attendance.
