As a follow-up to the Emerging Tech community’s March edWebinar, which showcased the work of Dr. Joyce Valenza, Grace McCusker, and their team of research gurus on SchoolLibraryNJ, this edWebinar focuses on building websites that enhance and promote instructional programs. After a year of on/off remote learning, our web presence may be our main (or only!) contact with our learning community. In this session, Michelle Luhtala shares ideas about website updates that support instruction and advocacy.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers and librarians of grades 6-12.
