Loertscher, David V.Woolls, Blanche2025-09-242025-09-242014https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/5305Transmedia storytelling provides an opportunity for librarians to engage their students in creative activities which lure students into reading by building from the basic story into a world of cooperative group work and collaborative intelligence. The research into creativity confirms the contribution transmedia storytelling offers to students who do not fit a traditional mode, and who, if never allowed to be creative in the classroom either drop out of school or become passive learners, and their possible long-term contributions are lost to the future. A new experience, makerspaces, is introduced and proposed as a way to allow students to move toward achieving their full potential. ile provides a template for writing papers for the 2013 IFLA conference.
