iBooks App

George Siemens' framework for edtech

Students have ability to choose books they want to read

Students choosing books to fill their digital library will grow in their knowledge of how to choose books that interest them and they will be able to refer to the books to help develop their ideas.

Audio books will be engaging to students who may struggle or learn by listening. Students having freedom to fill their library will feel like they own their learning.

The teacher will be using the app to teach reading lessons as well as using the app for students to read silent or in a group context

The App considers the whole learner by allowing students to choose books that work for them
