This session seeks to expound on the nature of "children's literature" and how the narrative structure plays an important role in early education. It also seeks to propose ways in which educators can expand use of the narrative structure and maximize its potential, relative to globalization in the digital age.

     II. Expound on how we, as educators, can maximize the potential of this instrument using technology

           B. Content - culled fr the internet, stories w/o borders
           C. Method - immersing in a net-based storytelling community, interaction w/ the narrative

     III. The perks/value of using technology in introducing and familiarizing the child w/ the narrative                     structure.
