Description

From award-winning author Dagmar Geisler, in collaboration with illustrator Nikolai Renger,a new series for elementary school students about social-emotional learning andphysical and mental health.

In recent years, children of all agesjust like many adults!from all over the world have had to shift the way they learn and work. Theyve adapted to sitting in front of their computers or tablets instead of in a physical class with their peers. Some have thrived in this environment, while others struggle to stay focused and at their desks.

In Usingthe Internet for Virtual School, best friends Madison and Luke quickly learn all about what can go wrong if theyre not prepared for their virtual lessons when Lukes older brother, Tim, experiences a stressful online presentation. The laptop dies, his video files wont load, the cat wont get out of the way, and possibly worst of all, he didnt realize an embarrassing (babyish!) poster was hanging on the wall behind him the whole time! This sours Tims mood for the foreseeable future, and Madison and Luke decide to make a list of the Dos and Donts of virtual school and presentations so they dont replicate Tims disaster of a day when it comes time for them to join their class online.

is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.
