Impact on the library program and students and/or teachers:
Teachers and LMSs will be able to use and annotate texts during live Google Meets. The LMS can provide drop in instruction before a close-reading activity to familiarize students with the tools.
Teachers will be able to collaborate with the LMS on annotation activities using breakouts in Google Meets.
Students will gain confidence with reading and interacting with text digitally whether using documents, webpages, database articles, or Destiny eBooks.
