Integrating Digital Text in Your Classroom
by INFOhio Staff 1 year, 10 months agoWhat are two things you are currently doing in your classroom or instruction that will make integrating digital text easier?
World Book Resources
The INFOhio World Book resources include: World Book Early Learning, World Book Kids, World Book Student, World Book Advanced, World Book Timelines, Banco de Contenidos aulaPlaneta, and Enciclopedia Estudiantil Hallazgos. These resources are funded in part by a federal IMLS Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant through the State Library of Ohio. Additional funding is provided by Libraries Connect Ohio partners: INFOhio, OhioLINK, and OPLIN. These online encyclopedias include eBooks, videos, activities, read-aloud, and translation features. Lexile reading levels are also included. This group has been created for INFOhio users of the World Book digital resources to reflect and learn more about integrating this resource into the classroom. To learn more about the following resources, explore these asynchronous classes in INFOhio's Ages 3-5, K-5, and 6-12 Digital Content Learning Pathways:

I use Google Classroom and other resources for digital text, so students are familiar with navigating on digital devices.I will not use this resource. I was unimpressed with the navigation and the activities/lesson plans.
STudents read lots of digital content and this source makes it easier to share and translate. However, many of the entries are not very rigorous or robust for high school audiences but could work nicely for EL students or those with IEP's.
I currently use Scholastic with it's magazine subscription for preschoolers. It has an online resource for sharing their videos. I use my Galaxy view tablet for viewing. I also use my tablet for song videos that have the words displayed as it sings the song. Also some of the ebooks from the library have the words displayed as it is read.
During orientation, I have the students favorite or bookmark the digital resources we will be using. I have found this saves time when the actual lesson occurs. We also attach the links in the Google classroom to our Canvas pages.
Currently I use Canvas and my students are able to access any link that I post, so they will be able to get to the resource any time they need it.
I'm using Google Classroom and have integrated ReadWorks and IXL into the lesson for my students. Getting better as the year goes on as I use for SDI and PM.
I am using Google classroom with my student, and I have set them all up with access to borrow free ebooks to their chromebooks, tablets, or phones.
I am currently using youtube videos for books I don't have. We have ipads in the classroom for free choice. I will take those ipads for more learning based apps.
We use an LMS and an online textbook, so incorporating digital text is fairly simple just by using links.
