A new genre of publication, webbes (Web Books for Everyone) are simple nonfiction picture books. Matching meaningful text with digital photography, these e-publications are a natural means for celebrating and documenting the activities of any curricular unit. Just as important, they offer students across all grade levels a new, more exciting way to write about their everyday lives. These compositions, in any language - even in two - invite writers from every ethnicity, social class, and language group in a school to see publication as a natural part of literacy learning and its complement to developing content concepts.

You'll learn everything you need to know about the basics of classroom e-publication and digital photography, creating with your students colorful printed paperback books that can be shared digitally within schools or across the Internet.
