My district has been stressing Premiere Software for several years now and I just assumed it was for reading text only. Now that I know more about the capabilities of digital text and the ability to manipulate it in addition to having it read, I am more inclined to use this on a regular basis with all of my students. Colleagues of mine currently use a text reader to help accomodate students who are struggling readers and I'm wondering if they are aware of the other features that could be used. I'd like to use more of this in my classroom to help promote literacy in science.
Additionally, I'm in the process of developing an AP Biology course at my school and with money being an issue, I'm wondering if using a digital text or digital flex text might be a way around having to purchase thousands of dollars worth of textbooks for the course. I will certainly be patrolling the ck12 site more to see what is offered.
