Why eBooks? English and Language Arts teachers have their students write in various genres – narrative, creative fiction, first person accounts, poetry, and more – as they investigate stories, characters, and history. However, student work is usually limited to the printed word, possibly enhanced by images and diagrams, and only seen by the author and evaluator. In 21st society the dominance of conventional, linear text of the last few centuries is eroding and quickly giving way to multimodal communication, with a screen-based, non-linear, and visual emphasis. With the advent of eBooks, students can not only read content electronically but produce interactive written work of their own, complete with images, audio and video, and interactive hyperlinks. Collaboration is more possible than with simple word processing, and student work can be shared with anyone via the Internet, allowing students to create content for classmates and others.
