Today we learned about the website, www.mackinvia.com and the app, MackinVia. Via is the platform Walt Disney Elementary uses for all our e-books. We have 154 e-books available. Many are multi-user (every student in school could read the same book at the same time) and others need to be checked out. Each student can log in with their student ID & computer password and have access to a backpack. This allows students to read on various devices and they can pick up reading in the same spot they stopped reading. We currently have 4 of the 2013-2014 Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee books available as e-books and 1 more is on order. Parents can create an account by logging on the website on a computer first. Check it out! E-books can be very interactive (read aloud feature, dictionary, highlight text, take notes). Ask the students if you have questions!
