Editor's Notes

  1. Ebooks history actually quite long. This timeline ends in the summer of 2010, but much has happened since then. Got permission from Diesel ebooks to put this in my presentation.
  2. Kindle – full keyboard, tightly integrated w/Amazon, easy book purchase, available w/wi-fi, will soon be compatible with library lending, most popular in educationSony – touch screen, uses standard ebook format, no wi-fiNook – Barnes & Noble, uses standard ebook format, available in colorDozens of others
  3. Kindle (most popular in Education), SonyeReader, Nook (Barnes and Noble)Several others available.Books can be read on iPad, iPod touch and Android. This presentation focuses on single use ereaders.
  4. According to the Association of American Publishers - eBooks top format “among all categories of trade publishing” in FebruarySales totaled $90.3 million – Up 202 percent from February 2010
  5. A lot of interest across nation. Several pilot programs. Keeping eye on ebook prices. Kindle best known in education. Buffy Hamilton, librarian at Creekview HS, started lending program 2010. She is author of The Unquiet Librarian blog.
  6. Lending to home or school for 1 week. Demo by teacher before checkout, tutorials available. Students must complete survey when return Kindle. Can also participate in optional video. Much more info at http://www.theunquietlibrary.libguides.com/content.php?pid=165142&sid=1401342.
  7. Very positive responses from students.
  8. From Buffy Hamilton’s blog “The Unquiet Librarian” in March 2011. Students especially liked the convenience aspect. Also liked that they were given input into what books should be available to them.
  9. Biggest complaint – quick battery drain, especially if left on. Needs more light. Students forget to turn in all accessories, so would rather check out without power supply. Want 2 week check out.
  10. “A Kindle Program of Their Own: Second graders try out ereaders."Improved comprehension by asking themselves questions while reading, selected text to share!
  11. Students particularly loved storing so many books on a small device.
  12. Ereader is not hero! It’s the digital text that makes the difference.
  13. From eReadia , How Larger Font Size Impacts Reading and the Implications for Educational Use of Digital Text Readers by William, E. DeLamater, M.Ed.Offers variable text size, self adjustment
  14. Start up cost of purchasing ereaders is expensive. Which to choose? Not all books are available. eReaders can break easily if dropped.
  15. Previously, only ebooks with epub format could be checked out from library.
  16. Allows borrowing shareable ebooks for Nook and Kindle. Free. Can search for books and filter the search. Can request and borrow up to 3 books at a time. Each book is 1 credit. Request expires after 48 hours. Books automatically return after 14 days and 1 credit is given back.
  17. Harper Collins ebook lending for libraries – loan 26 times. ALA published position statement. Libraries say 26 times too low and will restrict ebook purchasing. According to NYT, 66% of libraries provide ebooks for free. ALA convened two task forces.
  18. Tracked progress of Kindle club participants. Students read so many more books on Kindle. Like it more than print books. “More fun” to read on Kindle. District working to bring ereaders to elementary schools with grant money. Very positive response from students.
  19. Many benefits for students with disabilities. Lotta Larson, Asst. Professor - Built in dictionary for pronunciation and chunking as well as definitions. Fluency tool. Helps kids with dyslexia. No stigma – kids like to use technology.
  20. With so many budget cuts, may not be able to purchase ereaders. Alternative ideas for reading books digitally.
  21. Non profit started by former Amazon executive that distributes ebooks to developing nations.
  22. Just a few sites for free books. Project Gutenberg - Can download over 33,000 books in various formats including Epub, Kindle, HTML. All free, copyright has expired. Also has mobile site.
  23. One source of e-Textbooks is cK-12, which is a non profit organization to reduce costs of textbooks in US and around world. Uses a format called FlexBook. Aligned with state standards.
  24. Calibre is a ebook management company. Free software that can convert files to ebook formats (ePub and Mobi). With Calibre, students can not only read digitally, but can publish digitally. Students can adjust text size if file is run through Calibre. Teachers can convert course materials to the two major ebook platforms so students can read on ereader. School Library Monthly Amazon and Barnes & Noble offer opportunity to self publish ebooks. Smashwords is another e publishing site. Amazon will be receiving Smashword titles in fall 2011.
  25. Chris Edwards is SS teacher in Fishers, IN. Likes using ebook for student research project, but just sees it as another tool to help kids learn.
