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.
