Books by the 2010 BOOST Conference Keynote, Adora Svitak
Called a “tiny literary giant” by Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, thirteen year old Adora Svitak is the world’s youngest teacher and the published author of two books. She explores new technologies and their possibilities in education through her teaching and speaking. Adora’s daily video conferences with students from around the world have earned her Berrien RESA’s “Best Author and Expert” award for distance learning two years in a row. Adora’s books are Flying Fingers, an engaging how-to handbook on writing for teachers, parents, and kids from a student’s point of view, and Dancing Fingers, a collection of poetry she co-authored with her sister Adrianna.
Adora has graciously offered to donate 50% of the profits from books sold through BOOST to the BOOST Scholarship Fund.
