Digital texts can anything from electronic books, online publications or digital libraries. There are advantages and disadvantages to digital texts. E-books save money on printing ink and can contain pictures, recordings and videos. It can have abridged materials like summaries, graphic organizers and so on. With our technological advanced society, digital texts are becoming more popular. On the other hand, a student would not be given the opportunity to experience holding a book, smelling the pages and enjoying the full experience of a book in hand. I think an environment with a balanced mixture of e-books and books on a book shelf would give children an opportunity to see and understand both types of literacy and technology.
I created two digital texts through Tar Heel Reader. One is on frogs (since my classroom theme is frogs) and the other book is about school. Check them out! Click on the links below...enjoy!
