Digital Literacy and Adult LeanersIn public libraries, there is an increased demand for digital literacy training
for adults in the community

While classes led in a more traditional fashion, with a teacher giving a presentation, is effective, it does not encourage interest and enthusiasm for the topic, and it sometimes fails to alleviate the nervousness of tentative learners

Utilizing a tool like Storybird would allow a more immersive, participative and collaborative environment.
Storybird allows for collaborative story telling- it could be done individually and shared or worked on in groups.

Digital Literacy SkillsStorybird would allow students to work on the breadth of basic digital literacy skills in a way that is less intimidating than responding to a lecture can be- especially for someone who has not attended a class for some time. Students would become comfortable with typing, drag and drop, and navigating a web page.
Through the sharing and embedding function, learners can also become familiar with email and sharing links.

OutcomesThe goal is to not focus merely on the skills, but on the application. Working with
peers and having a product to share (not just notes) reinforces the learning. Building confidence, as well as skill, is necessary.
