eBooks & Audiobooks

Reflection

As time goes on, technology provides us with more modalities for ingesting information. While I understand the traditionalists who argue that there is no substitute for the feel of holding a paper book with pages you can turn with your fingers, the science of learning tells a different story. Differentiated Instructional Strategies are about providing access to class content. As a social studies teacher, I approve of three students arriving to class having accessed the content in three different ways (audio, screen, and book). In addition, audio and ebooks are mediums students can create themselves in order to explore their learning and express their understanding.
