Last week I learned how to use different programs such as MegaClock (Alarm, Stop watch, etc.), Yesterday, Lesson Plans (an excellent program for teachers), Students (to keep essential information about students & parents, student’s class schedule, and emergency info.) and about ebooks. It was an amazing experience. We visited manybooks.net where you can find many titles that you can download to your Handheld. I was able to get a copy of Romeo & Juliet that day. When I came back to school the following week; as soon as my 8th graders came in the classroom, I took out my handheld instead of my bulky Teacher’s Edition of the Literature book, opened the ereader, and chose the title Romeo and Juliet. My kids were amazed that I was able to read the same story they were reading from their textbook. An advantage I see with ebooks is that I can read and reread the story where ever I go without the hassle of bringing my heavy TE.  I hope that more young adult selections will be avaible in the future.
