Bringing Sonia’s Digital World to Life With Novel Effect and Merge EDU

Shannon McClintock Miller and her friends from Novel Effect and Merge hosted a webinar to dive into her new book, Sonia’s Digital World (published by Capstone and ISTE), and how you can bring the story to life with Novel Effect and Merge EDU. 

Sonia’s Digital World shares how Sonia, her friends, and her community chat, create, and play together with digital tools. The story is now available as an in-app eBook and soundscape in Novel Effect. It also incorporates a Merge EDU activity where students can learn about a bald eagle by holding it in their hand.

One of the things I love most about my new book, Sonia’s Digital World, is how Sonia and her friends use technology to learn and connect in creative, collaborative and innovative ways.
