Webinar: Best Practices for Techno-Storytime

Originally presented June 17, 2020

Non-traditional instruction driven by COVID 19 social distancing requires us to ask our learners to spend more time than ever before focused on digital screens for educational purposes. How can we make the most out of those learning moments? Technology rich read-alouds that address best practices are an entertaining and valuable strategy for reaching readers. Andrea Paganelli talks about how to power up library read-alouds using technology.
