Abstract:
Computer-assisted Instruction for Work-related Basic Reading and Numeracy includes two short, free, basic reading and numeracy professional development videos for teachers. Students preparing to be nursing assistants are shown in a computer lab using KeyTrain computer-assisted instruction software in an authentic class providing basic reading and numeracy. Interviews provide background on Notre Dame Education Center (NDEC) in Lawrence, Massachusetts, its computer-assisted instruction program, and its related job skills training, work readiness and support services. Computer-assisted instruction coaches discuss the program and how students use the instructional software; and two students discuss how they use computer-assisted instruction at the program and at home. Links to the videos and a document that shows which math and reading skills in the curriculum are used by nursing assistants will be found at http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=61

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic professional development video for teachers in which an adult ESOL teacher, basing his lesson on Stephen Krashen's theory of natural language, creates a relaxed atmosphere for language learning, lowering the affective filter- to help students take risks in learning the new language. He includes American baseball as content because some of the students had said they want to better understand the game. The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=76

Do your practitioners struggle to find professional development opportunities that fit their limited and/or busy schedule? After participating in a training opportunity, have your practitioners ever wished they could return to a specific portion of the presentation right when it was needed? Would you like to offer specific training resources to practitioners according to their individual needs and goals? Self-paced interactive tutorials may be the answer. In this workshop, the presenter shared a method for creating and offering professional development to practitioners anytime, anywhere. See how well this method has worked for Minnesota practitioners and explore how it might be useful for you. ATTACHMENTS: Tips to Create a Zaption 1 Able Instruction Sheet 2 COABE Session 1 ABLE PD 2

Abstract:
A short, free, authentic professional development video for teachers in which an adult educator uses a writing process that involves writing quickly in a journal, without thinking, so students' ideas come out fast. She gives a topic, Last Week's Experiences. She stresses as a purpose writing to learn something, to find their thoughts on issues, on themselves and others. She asks the students to pick one of these experiences and focus on it, to list a group of words that come to mind as they think about that experience or event. Students individually brainstorm, by themselves, without thinking about the ideas, without being critical, to free their minds to generate ideas. Then she asks them to write a short paragraph about the Event. She asks for a topic sentence and at least three sentences. The students said this helped to clarify their feelings and discover priorities. The video will be found at this web address: http://www.mlots.org/?page_id=72
