[ISLMA-Share] myOn ebook program

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have it in our k-8 district.
I think the elementary teachers are okay with it.
No one at the middle school uses it.
We find it to look very young and even though they boast materials through
high school, we find those are severly lacking.
We also do not like the quizzes that students have to take.
They say we can bypass them, but there are some that can't be bypassed.
It is so they can measure the lexile, which is a whole other conversation!

Instead, we use the free version of Newsela and database articles for
non-fiction text.
