Simple and easy way to create an e-book. I would love to get some feedback from someone who created a book with Book Creator.
James Easterling's curator insight, April 22, 1:50 PM
This would be a great tool for someone who's looking to put their content into an e-book. It's a simple and easy way to create and share on.
Ralph Springett's curator insight, April 22, 3:59 PM

Goodproduct, but if we are going to ask faculty to turn their study guides into ebooks they will need time and often they will need support to get the full benefit of the multimedia available.

A Toolbox of Reading Comprehension Apps for the UDL Classroom

A Toolbox of Reading Comprehension Apps for the UDL Classroom | Appy Hour with Apps to Rock Your EdTech World | Scoop.it

English with Mr. Borman - A place to reflect and share.


Via Kathleen McClaskey
Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight, April 27, 2:51 PM

Mr. Borman surveyed 17 students in one of his classes and discovered that there were a few needs when it came to reading comprehension. He has put together "A Toolbox of Reading Comprehension Apps" that can support the needs of his students in his UDL classroom.  For each app, he has outlined "What it does", "How students can use it" and the "UDL Principles".

 

Check out the Toolbox:

> iBooks

> Popplet

> SyncSpace

> Odyssey (by Homer)

> Toontastic

> Explain Everything

> Ulysses

> Subtext

> Prezi

 

Thank you Mr. Borman!

Jane Strunck's curator insight, April 29, 11:11 AM

Mr. Borman used Edmodo to survey his student's learning preferences and based on the results, identified apps that would support reading comprehension and promote UDL in his classroom.  Would love to know how students responded to the options.  Nice process, Mr. Borman!

Patrice Bucci's curator insight, May 6, 9:46 PM
