Click Here: TLP-C Sessions #4 – Skype with Authors

In this session we will learn how to encourage young writers and give students a chance to actually question an author.  LaGina Gross has tips for us about how to connect with authors.  Skyping opens a whole new world on how your students interact with literature.  Skyping with authors in your classrooms, literature circles and book clubs, will allow students to have direct conversations and experiences with characters, places and themselves as digital citizens. Listen to students share their Skype session with authors and the difference it made in their lives.   Also, get tips and the resources you need to Skype with award-winning authors for free!

TLP-C is a space for teachers to learn from other teachers. Each session consists of a teacher sharing some innovative strategies and other teachers listening, asking questions and sharing their own ideas and experiences. We hope you can join us!
