The 2020 shutdown demonstrated the need for virtual spaces across curricula and disciplines. This includes the school library. Your library should have a dedicated virtual space in the form of a virtual library.

A virtual library is your library’s online presence. You can use different platforms: Google Classroom, Google Slide, Google Site, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Sway, or a webpage on your school’s website. Choose a platform based on your school’s products and your permissions.

In this module, you will be able to make a Virtual Library on a Google Slide, Google Site, Microsoft Sway, or Microsoft PowerPoint.

I suggest you choose the platform your students are already using. If your students are already using a Google Classroom, then make a Google Classroom for your library. If your school uses Office 365 products, I suggest using Sway or Powerpoint.

Before getting started, have the pictures, videos, audioclips, or links you want to use ready on a Word doc or in a file on your desktop. This will expedite the process tenfold.
