Presentation Description
In the age of iPads, Kindles, and smartphones, there are numerous challenges and opportunities to “connect” with the digital learner in the K-12 learning environment.

As a result, workshop attendees will discover both conventional and innovative methods to promote core digital literacy skills: (1) strong reading and writing skills, (2) the ability to use technology effectively, (3) an understanding of digital content, and (4) effective communication with digital tools.
