I had never really thought about using PowerPoint or multimedia to teach reading and improve literacy. Not thinking in that direction is probably one of my biggest technology weaknesses - I don't think enough about how to incorporate the technology in with the reading, not just the product. The digital books seem like a great idea, especially if you do one with a voice feature so that you're reading the book to the kid even if you're not there. That would be great for a busy classroom or even just low level learners who need that reinforcement of maybe hearing the story again or having it read to them while others read on their own. We've been using listening centers for years, now I guess we create computer literacy stations as well.
Peer-to-peer file sharing I've done a lot, mainly with music, but it makes sense to put your big files somewhere so that anyone looking for the information you've created can access them when needed. It sure is a lot easier than worrying about not having the flash drive or the disk not opening.
