Virtual Libraries and Bitmoji Classrooms Bring a New Kind of Book Browsing
“As the school year gets into full swing, educators across the country are adjusting to radically different learning environments. With millions of kids learning from home and on screens, many teachers and librarians are embracing new ways to connect virtually with their students. Educators are creating Bitmoji and interactive classrooms, and also developing virtual classroom libraries to ensure students are able to access books digitally and are able to read from home.
Even in places where students are attending school in person five days a week, kids are coming into libraries less often, and there are limits on how students deal can handle and take home books from school. Many school libraries are being used as classrooms in order to provide for social distancing requirements, and public libraries remain closed or with limited services offered.
“So many kids miss the library,” says Angel Murdock, the media specialist at Holly Grove Middle School in Holly Springs, NC. Murdock created an interactive library site for her school. “Since kids can’t browse physically for books, we are reinventing what we do.”
