Both Caprino and Knauer believe virtual book tours are an important way to engage students during virtual learning.<\/p>\n
\u201cEducators are frequently looking for ways to increase student engagement, especially in today\u2019s digital society,\u201d said Knauer. \u201cThe virtual book tour enables an educator to review a book while asking pre-, during-, and post-questions that confirm student understanding. Students can also creatively engage with the book by exploring drawings, predictions, or connections to real-life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knauer is grateful to have had this opportunity to collaborate with one of her professors and says the experience has better prepared her for her future career.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opportunity to assist and explore blog writing with Dr. Caprino has enabled me to engage in the literature and research the topics that may assist peers or other professionals in the educational field,\u201d said Knauer.<\/p>\n
Caprino enjoyed getting to work with one of her students, and she is appreciative that Etown provides students with the ability to expand their learning with opportunities like this.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love when undergraduates have an opportunity to publish their work,\u201d said Caprino. \u201cEtown is unique in that way; our undergraduates have opportunities to publish and present with their professors.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elizabethtown College Assistant Professor of PK-12 New Literacies Kathryn Caprino and Early Childhood Education major Erin Knauer \u201923 recently worked together to craft a blog post about the importance of virtual book tours in early childhood education.
