The Virtual Librarian....Two New Follett Webinars You Won't Want To Miss, Friends

I am excited to tell you about my upcoming double feature webinar, The Virtual Librarian, with our friends at Follett. 

As remote learning has changed the way all educators do their jobs, and librarians are no exception. Flexibility and new ways of working with students, teachers and parents are essential. You won’t want to miss these idea-packed discussions designed to help you be the best librarian you can be – virtual, blended or face-to-face!

On October 14, I will be presenting...

The Virtual Librarian: Promoting Literacy with Technology Tools, Collections and Destiny (Part 1)

4:00pm CST

How can today’s librarian transfer what they’ve always done into today’s remote learning environment?

This webinar will take you through new ideas and best practices for using technology, including Follett Destiny® and Follett Collections by Destiny®, during an unprecedented time in education. 

Being a teacher librarian during a pandemic in virtual and blended learning settings brings a host of opportunities, challenges and celebrations for change. While connecting with each student and helping to promote literacy is at the heart of everything a librarian does during a “normal” school year, teaching and learning virtually requires additional skills and expertise. 

How can today’s teacher librarian transfer everything they’ve always done into today’s remote learning environment? What new approaches, resources, and programs can help every librarian succeed and help their patrons succeed?

Learn all about: 

• How to use Collections and Destiny to build meaningful and exciting places for reading, learning, creating, connecting and more
• Several special programs she has created around Destiny and Collections while creating exciting remote learning opportunities
• How to make Collections and Destiny a big part of your virtual libraries

The Virtual Librarian: Engage Your Entire School with an eFair (Part 2) 4:30pm CST

How can today’s librarian transfer what they’ve always done into today’s remote learning environment?

This webinar will take you through new ideas and best practices for hosting an online book fair during an unprecedented time in education. 

Being a teacher librarian during a pandemic in virtual and blended learning settings brings a host of opportunities, challenges and celebrations for change. Connecting with each student and helping to promote literacy is at the heart of everything a librarian does during a “normal” school year. Historically, students, parents and teachers have been fans of book fairs – now, eFairs give librarians another tool with which to promote literacy and a strong reading culture.  

I will share new ideas and best practices, plus ways to make your eFair a memorable and dynamic learning experience.

Learn all about: 

• How I kicked off the year with a virtual Follett Book eFair to celebrate and strengthen the reading culture within her school district
• Ways to use the various parts of the online book fair to foster collaboration between teachers, students and families
• And I can't wait to share one of my favorite parts...how to create and share virtual book lists!

You can register for both of these webinars here.  And afterwards, the recording will be shared with all who register too. 

I hope you join me, friends.  I can't wait to share with all of you.
