She worked as the Head of the High School Library in Gedera, Israel
with 1400 students from 7th grade to 12th grade for two and a half
years. As a librarian, during her interactions with the students, she recognized the need for a new technological educational model and different approach to enhancing motivation for Reading Books (especially in English, Hebrew, and Arabic).
Currently, Yael is an entrepreneur in the field of technological
education (EdTech).
Yael developed an innovative platform that fits the TikTok
Generation and the students interests. The platform will improve
Reading books, Writing skills and Social Skills in different Languages for kids.
Interestingly, due to the Corona Pandemic the need for Learning Social Skills from the Books (also due to the Zoom interactions) rose
dramatically among the students and a unique methodology was
developed.
On the whole, Dr. Yael Epstein developed digital updated methodology for the platform The Book Screen that attracts the school students (from second grade to age 21) to read printed books and ebooks that fits the short attention span of the current generation. The Book Screen platform includes games about the books, creative writing and AI.
Moreover, the platform includes a special Channel of Videos
recommending or dis recommending books in Hebrew and English. The purpose of this channel is to help the readers around
the globe to choose the right book that is appropriate for their
interests.
