I notice there has been more traffic about books! The teachers at the GPA eye's light up when they heard about books and having the computer read them. I need to figure out how to actually do that. <div><br></div><div>
CAST is a potential source of books and also a potential way for volunteers to create books. Its a really nice scaffold for creating books that help kids learn to read.</div><div><br></div><div>But I can't get the sample books to work! Any ideas?<br>

For the most part it appeared to be HTML with a wee bit o' flash. Although the flash added to the experience a bit, it didn't seem critical to reading the book. (The flash portion consisted of three critters on the bottom of each page, which, when clicked on would each animate and then read aloud a tip about that particular section of the story. The tip was also available in print form.) Without them, the story still contained vocabulary links in the text, etc.</div>
