The student/teacher writing teams of the NeBooks Project presented an iBooks Showcase at the 2015 Nebraska Book Festival this spring, It featured iBooks published by Nebraska school teams. Students from Lexington Public Schools shared their experiences with the research, writing, and publishing process. The students were inspirational and so much fun. And the books they produced were fantastic. This session should be really interesting. #mjr
