On Tuesday, August 25th we had the chance to continue learning from Kristin Ziemke and Katie Muhtaris in their fourth Facebook live event since schools began to close mid-March.

Digital Teaching and Learning in the K-6 Classroom and Read the World: Rethinking Literacy for Empathy and Action in a Digital Age, Katie and Kristin are experts in the field of centering pedagogically sound learning and teaching with digital tools.
