Issuu - You Publish Amazon.com Help: Kindle Keyboard Software Update The New Library: Ebook Checkouts Up 200% With the rise of digital books on the Kindle and the iPad, how is your local paper-based library keeping up? By fighting fire with fire. Ebook checkouts increased by more than 200% in 2010, according to a recent study from OverDrive, the leading distributor of ebooks and digital audiobooks to libraries. Ebook checkouts continue to accelerate, almost tripling through September. This adds to the more than 12 million ebook checkouts so far in 2011, paidContent reports. More than two-thirds of public libraries in the U.S. now offer ebook checkouts, more than 15,000 of which use OverDrive's platform. While patrons will always have use for hard copies of books and manuscripts, ebooks can reach far more people while appealing to a younger demographic of new library patrons. Ebook checkouts may be cannibalizing hard copy checkouts — but if that means more people are reading books, the library is doing its job. Would you rent an ebook instead of purchasing it?

Promises of these sorts of low-costs devices — under development or in production — have been ongoing for a while now. The Aakash tablet was developed and manufactured by a British company called DataWind in partnership with the Indian government. Despite that low price-tag, the device is actually fairly powerful. Clearly this is no iPad. With access to the Internet, e-books, and learning apps, it will be interesting to watch how devices like the Fire and the iPad will fare in the price wars against these kinds of low-cost tablets.
A Case for Using Social Media with Learning Culture Flickr:Anna Briggs Educators are finding ways to leverage social media sites like Facebook with learning. By Aran Levasseur We are witnessing the emergence of something profound: Humans, historically divided by geography, culture and creed, are beginning to connect and collaborate on a scale never seen before. The driving force behind this creative wave are digital tools and networks that allow new forms of collaboration and knowledge creation. What starts out as social networking is evolving into social production. In spite of all the potential to innovate surrounding blogs, forums, wikis and social networks, there are legions of detractors. Granted, not every use of social media is remarkable. “Educators ought to be asking what social dimensions of learning might be enhanced by using these tools and networks?” Writing initially emerged as a form of record keeping in Mesopotamia.
