Week 12: E-Book !

This week’s reflection focuses more on E-Book. At first, I was a bit blurred because I had no idea on how to make an e-book. I thought that we have to produce a very complicated and complex e-book like what we can see in internet.


However, it is different from my first impression. As newbie in technology, we are just assigned to produce an e-book using Microsoft Powerpoint. Therefore, as future teachers, there are a few things that we need to consider when creating e-book for primary school children. The e-book should be:

1) Appealing
2) Using big fonts
3) Colourful and bright pictures
4) Interesting- including animations and sound effects
5) Suitable in terms of language use with their cognitive level


After considering all these aspects, what we have to do for the next step is planning. In our planning, we need to:

1) Select a theme or a topic
2) Choose the setting- time and place
3) Characters involved in the story and their characteristics
4) The plot of the story- conflict, climax, resolution
5) Navigational tool so that the e-book can work properly ( can go to the next page or the previous page)
6) Selection of animations and sound effects to be included in the e-book.


So, the next step would be thinking of the suitable topic for this e-book. My partner and I have chosen the topic of Animals in the Zoo. We plan to introduce some animals with their characteristics.

Here are some of the snapshots of our e-book:
