Projections show there will be more than 5 million apps available by 2020. With a commitment to bridging the digital divide, how can librarians navigate this “Wild West” of digital content to provide relevant and appropriate educational apps for their patrons?
Join us for a special Webcast presented by Playaway Pre-Loaded Products and Library Journal to learn what resources and tools exist to review children’s apps, as well as guidelines for selecting high quality apps, including an App Evaluation Rubric. Get recommendations for the best children’s educational app developers and see how your library can help close the “app gap” in underserved communities, even in areas with low Internet connectivity.
