Digital text allows you to select and change the font of text on the computer screen. Digital text is great for those who have trouble reading standard print from books. It also helps those who need additional information or supports placed immediately near the relevant text and those who could benefit manipulating or interacting with the text. Digital text is good for the learning environment because the visual displays can be varied and today students who are bombarded by rich media craved excitement even in the classroom. The auditory display that digital texts offers is also good for pre-reading. Aside from allowing the teacher to embed learning supports such as pre-reading background, definitions, summary and key questions in content, it also allows the students to copy and paste, or manipulate the text.
Here are a list of sources of digital texts.
