Currently in my second year in the library, my goal is to empower young learners and my colleagues by seamlessly integrating innovative technologies into our learning environment.

Session description

Hosted by Sora.
Discover how Parkway Schools significantly increased reading engagement with one literacy campaign. Hosted during Read Across America Week, Parkway took the concept of “building” a community of readers literally, turning the entire school into a bustling construction site. Find out how they used the Sora reading app for this initiative, encouraging exploration of the digital library not only in school, but at home, too! The end result of this successful effort? A remarkable uptick in digital reading that has extended beyond the contest’s conclusion.
