Virtual Library Insights: Reviews by Our Young Reviewers
About the project
Starting point
The first step to understand the scope of the project was to learn what are available resources and to find out how we could make improvements.
Support From our Volunteers
Research is absolutely crucial to this project. We wanted to make the biggest virtual library with most realistic impact to the educational landscape in Haiti.
End result
Contextualising the needs of school children, their parents, and their educators helped us to construct a bright, and accessible place of learning. We involved children in writing reviews about free virtual library resources.
We aim to develop a very comprehensive resource list for all websites which provide free digital libraries for children to promote reading and improve literacy.
