WHEELERS EPLATFORM
Last year during remote learning many students discovered ebooks and audiobooks on Wheelers ePlatform. Unable to access the school library collection, McKinnon students accessed 1200+ ebook loans and almost 250 audiobook loans during 2020.
The most popular ebook reads during 2020 were:
- Holes by Louis Sachar
- Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
- Divergent by Veronica Roth
- Geek Girl #1 by Holly Smale
- The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
- Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
So far this year the most popular ebook reads include:
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
- One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
- Love Simon by Becky Albertalli
Students can access Wheelers on their Chromebook via the Wheelers Books Google app. Wheelers can also be used on a phone or tablet; download the Wheelers ePlatform app and select McKinnon Secondary College to get started.
