Merchandise Description

This 90-minute webinar was recorded on June 4, 2015.

 

There are many innovative new books that are being published as individual apps (instead of plain text ebooks), taking advantage of the multi-touch interface and multimedia capabilities of the iPad.

 

In this workshop, you'll become familiar with specific book apps in several categories (fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and graphic novels), and learn how these apps are enabling learning and creativity.

 

This workshop is for you if…

 

  • You're curious about book apps, but haven't had the time to sit down and try the ones you're interested in.
  • You're not sure how apps might enable learning and you're worried about the lack of access to information for all, with a possible widening of the digital divide.
  • You just got an iPad or other mobile device and you're being asked to support the use of iPads in your organization.
  • You want ideas and inspiration for ways you can lead your community in creative uses of apps.
  • You are responsible for designing innovative programming in your library.

 

This workshop is appropriate for librarians from all types of libraries, especially school, public, and academic libraries.

 

We’ll discuss:

 

  • the future of the book and what these formats mean for reading and learning.
  • the qualities of a delightful reading experience – and what should we as librarians be advocating for?

 

You’ll leave with a better understanding of this new format and be familiar with some of the best book apps currently available. You’ll get ideas for creative programs and services that you can offer in your library related to book apps. You’ll also get a list of resources for further study and a bibliography of recommended book apps.
