Fostering Reading with Technology

Yesterday, I had the privilege of facilitating Fostering Reading with Technology. This workshop was designed for elementary educators and teacher-librarians who wished to explore how the thoughtful integration of technology can enhance deeper comprehension and fluency of read texts. We closely examined how digital technologies can positively impact students’ literacy skills, personal expression and creativity, and facilitate collaboration and differentiation.

School Libraries Infused With Technology

Today, I had the honour of facilitating School Libraries Infused with Technology. This workshop was designed for teacher-librarians who are seeking ways to enrich technology use in the school library or teachers wanting to create a technology-rich classroom. We examined ways to enhance learning and deliver state-of-the-art service using current, freely available technologies including apps, web-based tools, and social media. Collaboration, organizational, and presentation tools, as well multimedia production and makerspaces were explored.

The investigated tools have been curated on an EduClipper board. Click on the slider to view the entire board.
