Ebooks are all the rage these days, and your iPad is a perfect device for reading them. Textbooks, too, are becoming de riguer for many students in college and even high school, as educators, schools, and publishers find a greater demand for electronic instructional materials.
But studying from a book requires interacting with the text at a greater level than just reading it, of course, as students need to keep track of specific passages, or comment on them as they relate to their learning or lecture notes. Most eReading apps, like Nook and Kindle, have these features as well, but iBooks definitely has the most well designed, so let’s take a look at how to use it to study with your electronic books."

iBooks not only speaks the selection but it can also highlight text in different colors and create notes. Great way to provide the tools for using reading strategies to electronic text. Creating ePub books in apps like Pages, Creative Book Builder allows you to create your own texts for students. Delete the scoop?

I made a series of posters that I often hang around the room when I facilitate workshops. It's fun for participants to get up and scan them at break time. Each poster features a quote about education or technology . Via Julie Millan, Naomi Harm

This looks like a fun way to use students' smartphones. You will need a QR reader/editor to make the codes and students will have to be smartphone-enabled, which is something that may not be far down the road. [thanks to Scoop from Deb] Delete the scoop?

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.

"On the iPad, the ‘Print’ option doesn’t have a PDF export option. This is where the Universal app Web to PDF comes in handy. Upon launching, you are presented with a Web browser to go to the page you need a PDF of. Browse to a Web page and choose the button at the bottom right of the screen, “Create PDF”. The resulting PDF is a great way to read a Web page later when offline too!" Via Aki Puustinen, Luciana Viter, Donna Murdoch, Naomi Harm Delete the scoop?
