This week’s message is a short one, however we hope that the two resources we are sharing are helpful to you all as you get settled back in and ready for the new school year to begin!
Flipped Classroom Training Begins Next Week!
During our Flipped Classroom months, materials are available for members to review, and OverDrive staff are ready to schedule one-on-one 20-minute sessions to answer members’ questions. We are excited about these training opportunities to get you, your students, and staff comfortable with the WSDLC collections and using them to their fullest capabilities.
Beginning on September 1st, we start our first Flipped Classroom for the 2021-22 membership year. September’s topic is Getting Started, and you can view the materials, which includes videos, definitions of lending models, and a Getting Started with Sora module, here: https://wsdlc.org/getting-started-with-flipped-classrooms/
You’ll also find the contact information for our partner at OverDrive, Connie Bowman, to schedule a time to discuss any questions you have!
