  Media Mentors: Helping Children Build Literacy Skills for the Digital Age
Thursday, June 16, 2016, 1:30
–3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
What exactly is a media mentor? And how can young children and their families benefit from a media mentor? Join Michael Levine, Lisa Guernsey, and Chip Donohue to discuss this new term in the lexicon of 21st-century early childhood education. Media mentors can help children grow into strong, passionate readers who are skilled at using media and technology of all kinds—print, digital, and everything in between. But what skills do media mentors need? How can they be supported? And how can more children gain access to them? Michael, Lisa, and Chip will kick off a discussion that explores the importance of these new roles. Register today for this free event! https://cc.readytalk.com/r/d3f9k3tm30ky&eom
