With a history of success, why would librarians want to alter storytime by incorporating technology? This article discusses how Laura Fleming, a long-time school librarian, addressed decreased student engagement in traditional reading materials by engaging readers with materials that included URLs augmenting the plot. Her experience indicates that careful selection of high-quality materials and supportive technologies can help enhance student engagement. The process of planning for a digital storytime can be considered through the same lens as planning a more traditional storytime. This article provides the following information to help librarians navigate the new educational landscape containing digitally augmented and/or created books: (1) selection criteria for traditional read-aloud storytimes and digital storytimes; (2) tips for preparing for and presenting traditional and digital storytimes; (3) examples of augmented reality titles; (4) examples of e-books and story apps with embedded access to additional resources; (5) examples of resources that support students' creation of their own e-books; and (6) Wonder Workshop hardware and apps that support students' exploration of coding. |
