NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR Students should bring their school device to the library. Sora will be more effectively learned if they can access it with guidance in real time. You may choose to show the Sora navigation on a class screen, instead of individual devices; however, this will be a less effective means of getting every student into Sora. 61
