Thinking about allowing students to bring their own devices to school next year? Join us as we discuss how to make this innovative approach work. Discussion will include the advantages and pitfalls of such an implementation, revising your AUP into an RUP, classroom management, and helping teachers to adapt.

Too often, students’ online interactions are questionable and unproductive, and usually without adult supervision. This set of two webinars will help teachers, administrators, technology leaders, and parents understand what students should know to use technology appropriately. Participants will focus on strategies for implementing digital citizenship programs in their schools. Successful completion of this course counts for 3 CPE credits.

NOTE: This is a two (2) part series starting on 12/4/18 and ending on 12/11/18.

Some fear that by adding a makerspace to their library, they will be taking away from literacy programs. However, STEM education and makerspaces can actually add new dimensions of literacy to your library. This session will describe many ways that makerspaces can support literacy in the library and will also lead participants through several maker projects, articulating the types of literacy addressed in each project.
