LI 1B*3

Using the World Book Online Reference Center I looked up both e-books suggested. I just can't beleive how available classic literature is today. How convenient for teachers to assign books for discussion when they are right at the fingertips of the students. I read the first few paragraphs of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and also had the text read to me. It was hard because the dialect was lost on the computer voice, it definately was not the quality of a book on tape but it would be helpful to hear words spoken that you may have never read before. I was amazed at the amount of books available and I only searched through the juvenile section. Not only could students download these stories from home to their electronic devices but come into the library and download them. Technolgy seems limitless and I am glad the state library is keeping up as well as it is.

  1. Thanks, busymom. We have had good feedback on this from teachers for the links out to literary criticism and other info, the read aloud, and the download capability. No excuse if a kid forgets his/her book! :) Thanks for your comments!
