Nowadays,digital technologies provide some groovy function.It is not only used to watch a book,but also enhance the interest,quantity of material and functions to the users.The digital technologies are replacing books and knowledge progressively.
In this ten years,some of the school started to use the e-book to replace the traditional books.Most of the books digitized to the digital format.Users can read magazines,news paper,even textbook through E-books.
In a ebook survey,more than 40% of children who have read an ebook.According to a survey made by School Library Journal,56% of school offer ebook in United States.It proves that e-book become a new trend for learning and entertainment.
- Physical health(student just afford the weight of the E-book)
- Environmental friendly(no paper copies)

E-book is really a good product for the students.Students not necessary to bring numerous of physical books.Although E-books may cause myopia,when the students use the E-book correctly,just like adjust the brightness,distance,the influence will be decreased.Using the E-book,the students must bring all of the books,because all of the materials insert in the E-book.They can focus on lessons,because they will not lack of the learning materials.
For me,I am be used to watching and using the physical books,whatever for entertainment or learning.Using the physical books is easier for jotting notes and more comfortable.It is our generation,using the physical book is our habit.
But for the future,teenagers are be used to use the electronic products.So,the e-book will be accepted by the next generation.And most of the school will trying to use the e-book for teaching.It is more environmental friendly and convenient.
Virtual Learning Environment(VLE)
VLE is an online system maintained by a training provider (college, school, private company etc.) which allows learners to access material linked with courses.Those learners can use the computer,tablet even the smartphones to get all of the courses’ materials through VLE websites.
The VLE provide communication channels,producing work,resource hub,dynamic home page,link to outside sources,embedded context and podcast function.The users can share the information,idea,opinion and finish the work together through VLE websites.
The above video is an example of the VLE websites.We can oversee the format,function of the websites.For sure,VLE websites not only used in industry,but also used in school.The employee and students can enhance their competitiveness through the VLE websites when they are leisure.
