Websites With Links to Digital Books to be Used in the Elementary Classroom

1. Shutterfly.com
This website is just like iPhoto, but it can be used by anyone and you don't need to have a mac to make a digital book.

2. eReader.com
This website you can purchase the books, but there is a wide variety of books to choose from.

3. Aesop's Fables - Online
This site has all of Aesop's Fables, some of them you can listen to with Real Player. They are very short, though might be hard for younger chidren to read because the words are not very big. There are also other interesting things around that children can learn about, such as the history of Aesop and the history of Fables.

4. The Cranky Librarian
This website has lots of books that are broken up into chapters when you click on the book or poem or fable that you would like to read. The one bad and good thing about this site is that all the titles are on the left and some of them are hard to read fully.

5. International Children's Digital Library
The website is put out by the University of Maryland. What is nice about this site is you can search around and see what it is all about before signing up for an account, which is free to do. Kids can also have an accout, so this is a nice little library you can have right on your computer, and you don't have to worry about having overdue books or loosing a book.
