Join us on Thursday August 1, 2024, at 1 PM MT, as Sara Vail from the Garfield County Library District discusses the importance of alternative literacy.
Alternative Literacy is the process of teaching children and young adults literacy skills through non-traditional means. In this presentation, I cover three big examples of this: graphic novels, tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs), and video games. Further, I provide an overview of how educators, librarians, and individuals can implement them into their work or daily life. In this presentation, you can expect to learn:
- What alternative literacy is and the benefits
- Definitions of graphic novels, TTRPGs, and video games
- Why graphic novels, TTRPGs, and video games are effective in teaching literacy
- How to utilize graphic novels, TTRPGs, and video games in libraries and classrooms
