Hi Nira! Thank you so much for your kind words and public support.
I am the Special Education Director at Renaissance Academy. I have a BookShare account but, to be honest!!! Have no idea how it works, i.e.. putting books on IPads, access for students at their homes, etc. I could use some HELP!!! Is there training available? Or can I have someone call and walk me through the process? I am a bit tech illiterate 🙂
Thank you,
Kimberly Beck
Ms. Beck (Kimberly)…thank you for reaching out to us. A Bookshare educational manager will contact you directly via email to walk you through the process. Welcome to the library!
Good luck. I pass my nursing board in 2008 with help… . my text was read to me, at test time it was also read . In in touch with the state nursing and they will provided additional help to take the Nursing Board. I am a school nurse add I love it. Thanks
Hi Kathryn! What an inspiring experience you’ve shared with our Bookshare readers. Thank you and best of everything to you as well.
I just read Bookshare’s response to Kimberly Beck’s comment a couple of days ago, and wonder if you could have an educational manager contact me also. I, too, am technologically illiterate but know that my special ed students would benefit tremendously from Bookshare. Please help!
Thanks! : )
Alana: We have communicated your request to a Bookshare team member. Stay tuned for an email to make a connection. Thanks!
I am a special education teacher interested in accessing Bookshare books for students. I am having trouble navigating your system to create lists, accounts, etc. Is there a website for help with specific issues?
