Overview

Although many programs have students for a very limited number of hours, teachers, advisors, and others have so much we need to cover during that brief time. For some, adding digital literacy can feel like an impossibility. While it can certainly be challenging to figure out how to cover that along with content and skills, it can be done! In this one-hour webinar, we will discuss an approach to weaving all three together and look at several examples including a single lesson, a curriculum theme, and a project.

Unable to attend? We record the Tech and Tell webinars. If you are interested in this topic but cannot attend the live webinar on March 25, you may register and receive the webinar recording to review along with the instructions for the follow-up assignment, which needs to be completed by April 8.

Note: This is part of a series of monthly webinars, which are modeled after the effective Tech and Tell series developed by our IDEAL partners and colleagues at TCALL, Texas A&M University. TCALL provides professional development for the Texas adult education system. We are grateful for their collaborative spirit and sharing of successful practices.
