It's going to be a great day loaded with so many engaging, collaborative and exciting learning opportunities for all of us.

Sonia and Her Friends Are Back In My New Early Chapter Book Series! They Come Out This Summer With Capstone and ISTE.

 

I have an exciting announcement, friends. 

My new early chapter book series, ISTE Digital Explorers, with Capstone and ISTE, comes out this summer.  
In fact, it features Sonia, her friends, and family, from my picture book, Sonia's Digital World. 

The first one in this new series, Sonia Speaks Up, can be found here on NetGalley. 

As shared online, 

Sonia and her class finally get to use the digital platform for artwork! Sonia is proud of her lion painting, and she can't wait to share it. But after seeing rude comments on the other paintings, she decides not to post it after all. The next day at school, Mr. Thompson reminds the class what it means to be a good digital citizen, perfectly showing this ISTE standard in a relatable classroom situation. Created in partnership with ISTE, this early chapter book offers an engaging introduction to important concepts in technology education.

We will be sharing more the other books in this series soon.  I can't wait until you see them all, friends.  
And if you will be at the ISTE LIVE 25 Conference this summer, Sonia and I will be too.
