You Guide the Learning!

Your students will have access only to the books you decide to share with them, allowing you to determine the focus of each whole-class or small group reading session. Using the “Share Book” feature for each title, generate a link for each book and send it to each student in your classroom; or, selectively send it to each participant of your small group. (This access will continue to be available to the students for 30 days.) Alternatively, you can simply share your screen during instruction. Easy-to-use directionals allow for forward/backward pageturning and for returning to the beginning or end of the book. An Annotations Menu is available to you with every book you select, offering you countless ways of adapting texts for vibrant and interactive instruction.

Underline, enclose, or circle selected portions of the text.

Create notes in a variety of colors. Highlight and copy text to your clipboard.

Okapi Digital Literacy™ is fully compatible with and can be accessed through Clever, Schoology® , Seesaw and most other learning management systems.
