The Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) offers many different grants to schools and libraries that help increase literacy skills by inspiring a love of reading and writing for children in under-resourced communities across VT and NH. Join Cassie Willner and Jana Brown, program managers from CLiF, to learn about these free grant programs and how CLiF can support your innovative efforts to inspire your students! We’ll talk about our grants for elementary schools, eligibility requirements, how to apply, and what we’re looking for with funding priorities.

STEAM/Makerspace Projects Connected to Digital Citizenship Topics.
Thursday November 7, 2024 1:45pm - 2:40pm EST
Gateway I
This presentation features hands-on projects that compliment good digital citizenship practices.

My projects were inspired by the 6 core topics addressed in the educator’s section of Common Sense Media. During my presentation, I will show projects related to: Balance, Privacy, Digital Footprint, and Kindness. I use the Common Sense Media lessons, and then extend the main ideas into a makerspace project.

These projects are for students in grades K-6. Some projects can be adapted for different grade levels.

You will come away from the presentation with many ideas that you can use right away in your classroom. I will include a few paper templates to take with you. They can be copied and used for a lesson right away.
