Webinars

I've been "attending" webinars from several organizations lately. I found them very helpful and easy to participate in. Unfortunately the live webinars are not accessible at school. I had to "attend" those at home. But the archived webinars are available to see from school. Here are some of the webinars I have attended and where you can find more. //If you are unable to attend a Scholastic Book Fair workshop in town, another way to get that $25 credit is to attend online. It was only 30 minutes and very interesting. Again, you have to access the live webinars from home.//

Click here to watch **“Let’s Get Graphic: Kids’ Comics in Classrooms and Libraries,”** an authoritative webinar on the latest trends of the graphic novel format. Sponsored by TOON Books, Rosen Publishing, Scholastic Graphix, and First Second.

Click here to watch **“Battle Bullying with Books: Celebrate No Name-Calling Week”** (1/25/11), an hour-long webinar on how high-quality children’s and young adult literature, as well as online resources, can help prevent bullying, including a presentation by James Howe, acclaimed author of //The Misfits// (2001). Sponsored by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, Albert Whitman and Company, Rosen Publishing, and Candlewick Press.
