Advantages

Disadvantages

  • Books can be ASSIGNED to students so they just log in and the book is “there”.
  • Track their book engagement.  How long they have been reading, if it was opened…
  • They can read on “any device” Chromebook, phone, PC.
  • They will never “forget” their book!
  • You can put it on your screen for reading, following along…
  • Dyslexic view, Contrast, text options, dark mode…
  • Define words, Highlight, add notes. Saved to G drive!
  • 21st Center Skills!
  • NO need to come library to check in/out books
  • Still on their device. Sometime it is nice to pick up a book!
  • Page #’s are a little harder, but do-able with a search.
  • We won’t get to see you in the library to check in/out books
  • The above books are NOT necessarily on the approved Novel list.  We ARE working on that one! 
    There are about 500, 9-12 books on that list! I am in the process of adding them to spreadsheet.  Feel free to sort the list by column J.
