Such an exciting time when the American School of Bombay can publish this eBook for us all to enjoy and learn from their tech integration experiences.

I think I will buy this.....also thinking about buying iPad2.
"ZooBurst is a digital storytelling tool that lets anyone easily create his or her own 3D pop-up books."
"......with the launch of Apple's iPad in Australia, along with the fleet of dedicated electronic reading devices — the Kindle, Kobo, Nook and iLiad — already available, that subtle broadcasting of tastes, preferences, even personality will begin to disappear. E-readers display no cover image or title. You will be identifiable only as an early adopter, an e-reader kind of person.
But what does the march of technology mean for book designers? For decades their alchemical arrangements of font, colour and image have been responsible for hooking bookshop browsers to a book. We see a cover – or just a book spine – among thousands of others and something about it implores us to pick it up. Once held, the cover, the weight and texture of the paper, the cut of the pages — even its smell — does the rest."

"The Skiff Reader, the first e-reader to integrate the upcoming Skiff Service, is a state-of-the-art device that is simple and easy-to-use."

This post explains how to do this using free, cross-platform software tools. Written by Wes Fryer
This eBook explores what we are learning from local, state-level and national research into the impact of one-to-one computing on students, teachers and schools. To what degree are these ambitious programs living up to their promise? How can they be improved? And how do we build evaluation into all our endeavors going forward so that we maximize results and improve understanding about what works and what doesn't when it comes to education and technology?
