One amazing web resource for educators is TumbleBooks which features many different eBooks with life learning lessons, great stories, and many books for many different age groups. One book I really enjoyed was Bugs, Bugs, Bugs written and illustrated by Bob Barner. The book is for pre-k through 1st grade students. There are two great things about this eBook with the first being the media used to present the material and the second being the material. The eBook has so many options to be used for beginning readers as a reward or to help them learn new words. It also has a great humane education message about bugs being fun and a part of nature that all people are included in instead of being scary or weird. I think this eBook is not only a beautiful and entertaining book but also a good tool to learn and become familiar with bugs at an early age.

Regina,
I am glad to know that there are other students like me out there who are willing to incoorperate these new technoliges into the classroom. I hope to teach fifth grade social studies and these types of books will help both younger and older students understand and learn the curriculum. I hope you enjoy the rest of your semester.
