ePub (also know by: EPUB, .epub, or other variations


Make your own…
                 on capitalization) is a free and open standard for for
                 eBooks (electronic books) maintained by the
                 International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). The
                 ePub file format was designed to be open (anyone
                 can use it or create it) and re-flowable (the text can
                 be re-sized and re-arranged to suite whatever display
                 it's being read on). Ideally, it will catch on as the
                 standard for ebooks

                                        …Marie Rossi 2009
Points to consider:
Can database funds be reallocated,
  if no new money can be found?
Can we forgo print purchases for one
  year, to launch virtual download?
Can we develop a campaign to build a virtual library?
Are there Title I funds available to build a collection
 supporting classified students (as a jumpstart)?
Can this be funded via technology funds? (think partnership)
• Audio formats allow SE students to “read” what their
             peers are reading.
           • Listening level is higher than reading level
  IEP

             • Decoding done by audio, while students read
             increases comprehension and fluency.

“I want to do

                             Sure. We
                            can do that.
