Hi everyone! Ran across this TED talk, via a Harold Underdown tweet (I believe). While this isn't strictly about e-books, it is about interactive books and it's fascinating. I wanted to add it to the discussion. He makes a lot of sense.
(By the way, it's only 15 minutes...)
Thanks, Amy, that is a thought-provoking way of looking at ways to combine books and tech... whatever gets them reading is okay with me!
ReplyDeleteFascinating talk about writers using tech to bring kids back to reading. Well done.

That's what I thought too -- let's get kids reading! I'm fine with doing anything that helps kids make the jump. B/c (also) once they're reading they'll understand that reading gives its own kind of pleasure...
ReplyDeleteI agree loudly and happily with Patrick and everyone who has commented here. I am delighted to hear his strong emphasis on a good story,too. It's an interesting time to be a writer--an exciting time.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! :) e
