World Book Online

From Mrs. Yoder/Mrs. Unruh...

Teachers,

I wanted to share a new resource we now have available--ebooks from World Book Online.  

To get to them, follow these steps (using your specific building: es/ms/hs):

1. Go to the MS library website.  ms.hesstonschools.org/library

2. Click on the "World Book Online eBooks" link.

3. Click on the eBooks icon.

4. Search for your topic.  You can search by subject, grade range, etc.  

5. There are a wide variety of books included: history, biographies, animals, biomes, etc.

They can be read online or downloaded onto an iPad using the free World Book eBook app.  They are simultaneous use, meaning all students in your class can read the same book at the same time (different from many eBooks out there).

There are 19 sets of eBooks included in our subscription (over 150 books total!) and we have a subscription to them until November of 2015.  I encourage you to take a look and think about how you may be able to incorporate them into a lesson.
