The “Selfie Generation” interacts with reading materials in profoundly different ways compared to previous generations. Learners are now challenged by both print and interactive, digital text.

How can we build their traditional reading skills while improving their digital literacy?

  1. Learn how to make your materials and classroom activities more interactive with easy-to-use affordable computer applications.
  2. Even non technologically minded instructors will come away with ideas that are easy to implement.

In this free-to-attend webinar, you can expect to:

  • Learn how to harness technology in a productive way to support literacy and language learning for students with dyslexia at all levels.
  • Gain ideas for formative assessment using appropriate apps to monitor progress.
  • Embrace learning technology in simple, easy ways – no matter your budget.
