Literature in an Online World: Using Digital Resources to Apply Literary Skills in the Classroom: Webinar

21st century learning requires resources that are more varied, more interactive, and more flexible than what traditional textbooks have to offer on their own. Students in English classes from elementary school through college need to gain critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. Supplemental resources offer windows to the world that can help instructors and librarians:

  • Engage students with the power of choice
  • Empower students to explore their interests
  • Elevate struggling students with additional support
  • Extend high-achieving students to new heights

Join Bloom’s Literature Editor-in-Chief Jeff Soloway and Instructional Designer / former English teacher Waneta Hebert for an in-depth discussion on how supplemental resources like Bloom’s Literature can support deeper application of the skills your students need to be successful in your class – and in life!

In this webinar you will learn:

  • How you can support the application of essential skills in your classroom
  • Ideas for teaching specific skills in literature and language
  • The wide variety of resources available in Bloom’s Literature to aid in skills learning
