Building Digital Literacy Skills Through Story + Creation With Book Creator and the ISTE Digital Explorers!

                                 
I’m so excited to share the newly released ISTE Digital Explorers Reading Companions—created in partnership with Book Creator!

This summer at ISTE Live 25, my new children’s book series, ISTE Digital Explorers, with Capstone and ISTE, officially launched! These books help teach and support essential digital literacy skills in fun, age-appropriate, and meaningful ways—all aligned with the ISTE Student Standards.
I’ve teamed up with Book Creator to develop incredible Reading Companion Activity Books. These interactive resources are designed to extend the learning from each story, giving students hands-on, creative ways to explore the digital literacy themes covered in all four books.

These companions are the perfect addition to any classroom or library, helping educators seamlessly integrate the ISTE Digital Explorers series into their teaching while empowering students with the skills they need to thrive in today’s digital world.

You will find them on this new Book Creator page that includes all six of the activity books.

There is one for each of the four books...Hagan Proudly Presents, Jack's Playground Plan, 
Ana's Smart Move, and Sonia Speaks Up. 

Look inside of Hagan Proudly Presents to see what one of the reading companion includes! 
I love the Create a Favorite Animal Presentation at the end, which can also be found separately in the Book Creator library. 
And look at My Digital Citizenship Pledge! I am going to start the year off with this activity at my school.  The kids will love creating their own pledge in Book Creator. 

 I will be sharing more about the Digital Explorers Book Creator Book Companions throughout the summer and how I will use them with our students.  

I can't wait to hear how you will use them with your students too.
