Digital Learning Day is February 6

National Digital Learning Day is February 6 -

This is a day to recognize educators and librarians for all the work that they do to integrate technology into our education system, preparing children and families for the realities of our increasingly digital world.

Here in Huntington Beach we are taking the week after Digital Learning Day to Celebrate Digital Literacy - in our increasingly electronic and digital society, we all need to be familiar with and adept at using new technologies.  The Library offers many resources that can help everyone hone their digital skills. We are planning a week's worth of activities, all tied into the digital content and resources that we now offer.  We will be highlighting our EBooks, our EAudiobooks, our Digital Learning tools and our Digital resources.  It will be a week devoted to Geek Training, and for Valentine's Day the Overdrive Digital Bookmobile will be in town, in front of the Central Library. 

Want to learn more about using the Library from your home computer and how to find things through the Library web site?  Come visit us on Monday, Feb. 11.

Want to find out how to learn something new online, either in the Library or from your home computer?  Come visit us on Tuesday, Feb. 12, where we will be giving demonstrations of Mango Languages (online language learning for all ages), Brainfuse's Help Now (online tutoring service, with skills and writing workshop components) and other Digital learning tools.

Want to learn more about the Library's computer resources?   Or find out about the new Chromebook computers available for check out?  Come visit us on Wednesday February 13.  We'll also be having a Laser show for kids that day.

Want to know more about EBooks, EReaders and other EContent?  Come visit us on Thursday & Friday, February 14 & 15, and visit the Digital Bookmobile where you can test gadgets and find out about the Library's growing EBook and EAudiobook collections.
