Here is a picture of our first Skype visit with an author in our library. Best use of technology is connecting students to the community! Third grade students learned about writing and publishing as well as played activities to encourage their creativity in storytelling! This aligned with their curriculum author studies. Students plan on publishing and selling their own books next month.
