親愛的校長及教師：
隨著越來越多學校實踐無線網絡校園，不少學生擁有自己的平板或手提電腦，這正是推廣電子閱讀的良機，讓學生投入多姿多彩的電子閱讀世界。學校要在校內推行電子閱讀，想必會關注應從何入手、花費多少成本，也會考慮如何建立流動書庫及便利的閱讀平台，讓學生能輕鬆豐富學習經歷。
有見及此，香港教育城（教城）將於2015/16學年起推行「ｅ悅讀學校計劃」，期望為學校提供多元化的電子書籍，在校內推動閱讀文化，更讓學生隨時隨地享受閱讀樂趣。計劃內所有電子書均以跨平台（包括Android、iOS及網頁瀏覽器）的電子書櫃「教城書櫃」開啟，學生透過書櫃內置的互動學習工具，包括廣東話、普通話及英語的兩文三語發音、書寫、繪畫、螢光筆劃重點、標示書籤、註明筆記等，即可輕易實踐自主學習，並提升閱讀效能。
計劃首年（2015/16學年）為先導期，教城將與香港學校圖書館主任協會協作，讓有興趣參與計劃的學校率先免費使用服務，而教師及學生於使用後所提供的寶貴意見、公開經驗分享等，能為計劃及電子閱讀的發展作出回饋，讓更多師生受惠。
教城現誠邀 貴校申請成為先導期的伙伴學校，共同推展「ｅ悅讀學校計劃」，並肩推廣閱讀。請按此參閱計劃詳情及下載申請表格，如有意申請，請於2015年6月5日前填妥申請表格並電郵至 info@hkedcity.net 或傳真至2624 1088，申請結果將於6月公布。
如欲查詢詳情，請致電 2624 1000或電郵至info@hkedcity.net與我們聯絡。
敬祝
教安！

Dear Principals and Teachers,
In the coming few years, school campuses with wifi will become the majority, and students will have their own tablets or portable devices. This is a great opportunity to start promoting eReading to students. Questions will arise at the same time: How will we do it? How much will it cost? Where on the Internet will this electronic book collection be, and will it be accessible easily enough for our students?
To offer an answer to these questions, Hong Kong Education City (HKEdCity) is going to launch eRead Scheme in the 2015/16 school year, aiming to provide a wide range of affordable, quality eBooks for schools and promote reading culture. Under the scheme, all the eBooks are accessible by different platforms (including Android, iOS and Windows (web browser)) through ‘EdBookShelf’, HKEdCity’s electronic bookshelf. Also readily available on EdBookShelf are some built-in interactive learning tools, such as Text-to-Speech (Cantonese, Putonghua and English), free-hand writing and drawing, bookmarking, note-taking and annotation functions. With these tools, students are able to achieve self-directed learning without even noticing it, and reading will be more efficient for them.
The first year of the Scheme (2015/16 school year) will be a pilot period, during which HKEdCity will collaborate with Hong Kong Teacher-Librarian’s Association (HKTLA), letting interested schools enjoy the services for free. We hope that valuable comments and public experience sharing from participating teachers and students will contribute to the development of the Scheme and eReading as a whole, subsequently benefiting even more teachers and students.
We sincerely invite you to be part of the Scheme in the pilot period and promote reading together with us. Please click here for more details of the Scheme and to download the application form. If you are interested in joining the Scheme, please submit the completed form via email to info@hkedcity.net or fax to 2624 1088 on or before 5 June 2015. Results of applications will be announced in June.
Should you have any queries, please feel free to email us at info@hkedcity.net, or contact us on 2624 1000.
Best wishes,
Hong Kong Education City
