Using eBooks, Databases, and Digital Tools to Keep Students Engaged During the Holidays
Monday, December 7, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
Presented by Michelle Griffith, Lead Media Specialist, Teacher Librarian and Technology Enthusiast
Sponsored by Mackin Educational Resources
A school break is right around the corner! You know what that means — weeks of students zoning out on TV and video games, spending hours in the car or on a plane, and getting out of the habit of reading. What if you could keep your students engaged during the holidays? eBooks, databases, links to digital tools and student challenges are the answer. Give your students the gift of reading and learning this season.
In this webinar, Michelle Griffith showed ways to use eBooks, databases, and links to digital tools in a “student challenge” environment to keep students engaged in reading and learning. You will leave this webinar with ideas to put into place tomorrow to challenge your students and keep them reading and learning all through the break.
Topics include:
- Using eBooks to keep students engaged
- Resources, both print and digital, for creating a customized student holiday challenge
- Free digital resources to keep students engaged
- Suggestions to get teachers and parents involved
Learn how to give your students the gift of reading!
