ePublishing in Education
Students can practice their writing and communication skills becoming an author of their own works and become published on the internet. Like many authors and journalists who write articles and stories for a living, students could learn these guidelines early on and use these valuable skills throughout their education. Students could learn to write articles, biographies, documentaries, journals, and stories as simple class assignments. These assignments can serve as the foundation and content for a culminating class project. Ideas for culminating projects include eBooks, eMagazines, eNewsletters, and websites.
eNewsletters
eNewsletters are a creative and effective communication tool for any school, organization or teacher to write, publish and distribute news and current events to others. Your audience could be other faculty members, parents, or students in need of valuable and timely information. eNewsletters can be emailed, posted on a website, or printed out.
eMagazines
eMagazines are useful for any organization or teacher who prefers to write and publish longer articles and go into depth about different topics. The pages of the magazine usually contain both text and images. eMagazines are also divided into categories or sections based on topic. eMagazines can be emailed, posted on a website, or printed out.
eBrochures
eBrochures can serve as a creative way to have students write about what they learned by creating an eBrochure. Many educators have developed assignments requiring students to write informational text about a topic and add images or photos to visually depict what is written. Popular examples of eBrochures include topics about historical people, places, events, cultures, and discoveries for social studies and science classes.
Articles
Articles are the equivalent of writing essays about a given topic and adding photos and pictures to it. The only major difference between an article and an essay is the format and the additions of visual media. Articles are universally accepted in the publishing world, and included into eMagazines, newsletters, newspapers, and websites.
