Booked in: sourcing and creating E-Content
Sorry to see no more emails from Felicity, I'll miss her, and this course was fun but still we all have to move on. I am going to suggest to the others here that are doing this course to share their blogs, so we can all learn from each other, and view the different ways we learn. Also if we collaborated and teach the other staff members what we learned during these last 10 high tensioned weeks.
Aaah well to work....
Scribed: Sounds interesting, but whenI looked into the site, it confused me (it's Friday and I easily get confused on Friday's) and it seemed cluttered.
Myebook: Interesting. I looked into one book and the computer would not preview it, I think I'll have to update my library to a kindle or something similar.
Vook: Getting better and more interesting ... Definately have to invest in updated technology. i found a great looking book here Dracula's guest, I remember seeing a movie of this title as a kid, and am now in the hunt to read it......aaghhh, no kindle, have to find the book and sit in the sun, or under a tree with my buffalo out in the paddock.
Blurb: This is an inspiring website. I took the quick how to tour and thought of all the things I could put into a coffee table book. I think I'll have to start making books again. They have an Australian site with different books shown but using the same technology for making the books. I loved the following book on the aussie site:
Zinepal: Checked out the easy1-2-3 instructions.... easy to follow, this I might try.
Flipsnack: Flipping books, hmmmmm. I viewed examples of a wire-bound and a hardcovered book here. Beautiful is the only way to describe them.
Movellas: Love it, you can make the font biggere or smaller, read page to page and sit back and enjoy chapter by chapter, the book of choice.
Playtales: This must be made for me. Has an "available for" format listing under each book as well as trabs for featured, top picks, newewst, and free books. Great for kids (like me), clear and easy to understand. I watched the demo, and thought it would be great for the grankids......oh where is that kindle?
Storytales: Publish your own book for kids, in apparently easy steps. I read 1 book, I can count to 10, This was bright, colourful, clear and good for younger children. Overall a good site.
Now my effort, hope you enjoy it????
