Incorporating Technology in Your Literacy Program
Examine how to use devices such as e-readers, tablets, and smart phones in our literacy programs, answering questions such as:
- What mobile applications are appropriate for our adult learner population?
- Why use an e-reader instead of a book?

In addition, we will explore websites such as ProLiteracy’s EdNet and the vast amount of resources available to literacy programs.

Collaborations
Raising awareness of literacy needs is an ongoing task. Collaborations and partnerships are important in order to broaden the audience for library literacy programs, and to maintain and strengthen our resources in times of scarce dollars.
