Antifaiff is the coordinator of technology and learning for Qu’Appelle Valley School Division in Saskatchewan, Canada. She wrote this article to inform the readers of Ebooks. Also, she provides a couple of websites that the reader can explore. The first is http://www.globalschoolnet.org on this website students can go on virtual expeditions or virtually travel around the global. This website also letter writing capabilities and shows examples of Ebooks. The next website is http://www.saskschools.ca/~ebooks. This website has pre-made Ebooks and templates to create new Ebooks. The downfall of this website is that the Ebooks need to be read by the classroom teacher to make sure the content fits their classroom. These books were made in Canada, so the book that shows money displays Canadian currency. However, the templates are very beneficial for teachers in creating their own Ebooks. I think the templates are so easy that even a kindergarten student could eventually create their own Ebook.
