Who this workshop is for
This workshop is for primary, intermediate, and secondary teachers and school library staff who are new to locating and curating digital resources.
We encourage schools to register more than one person for the workshop to share learning and help you build a team approach for new initiatives. For example, register your librarians and school leaders who are involved in using digital resources in your school.

Use an online curation tool to curate a digital collection that supports learning and complements your library print collections.

Curate your own topic-based digital collection appropriate for your school.
Learn from other participants and course leaders by sharing ideas and practice.
Reflect on your learning and develop actions to implement at school.
