Session description

Participants will learn that having a variety of content CONSUMPTION helps students, but the variety of content CREATION tools allows students to have choice and voice in their learning.

Purpose & objective

This session is designed to give teachers/librarians more ideas on how students can consume & create books in their learning spaces. I have presented this session locally at my state conference and it was met with great approval and I was asked to present it again at another conference in Wisconsin that was aimed at librarians (school & community). I have always felt that if teachers are given the tools, and have a basic working knowledge of them, they can really have an impact on student success.

Supporting research

I do not have any resources for formal research on this subject, but I can tell you that teachers that have used this in their classrooms in my local district have found it very useful for students to be able to understand the content on a much deeper level. As I have delved deeper into the different tools, I have found ways to connect it to a plethora of content/subject areas.
