Recently, I had the opportunity to virtually attend the 2nd Annual Digital Learning App Smash hosted by Future Ready Librarians. It was a great way to learn about some awesome programs that librarians across the country are using to enhance their services.
If you have time (1 hour), you can view the whole App Smash HERE.
If you don't have an hour, you can view the slideshow HERE. On each slide, the presenter shares an app description, its uses for a Future Ready Librarian, and ideas for how to use it with your students.
If you don't have time for either, I've shared my favorites for school librarians here:
- Teaching Books: Find book trailers, meet-the-author recordings, audiobook performances, complete book readings, and many other support materials for teaching books.
- Canva for Education: Create presentations, classroom decorations, social media graphics, bookmarks, quarterly statistics, and more!
- Genially: Very similar to Canva! Create presentations, infographics, quizzes, games, escape rooms, interactive images, videos, calendars, planners, rubrics, and more!
- Book Creator: Create library handbooks, research manuals, and tutorials for your students that include multiple pathways to learning through audio, video, text, and images.
- Kahoot!: Create library quiz games to add interest and pizzazz to your lessons.
