    Abstract:

    With the changes to the GED ® test for 2014, it is more important than ever for adult learners to have strong technology skills. In this session, we will explore two technology tools-”Google Docs and Schoology-”that ABE teachers can easily integrate into reading and writing lessons for intermediate to advanced learners. Ideally, participants will bring their own electronic devices (i.e. Smartphone, tablet, iPad, laptop) and be actively engaged in experiencing and using these technologies. It is best to use the technology as it is being presented. As a group, we will discuss barriers and obstacles, and ways to overcome them.

    Abstract:

    In 2014 the Joyce Foundation began a three year study on digital learning to identify which practices and product features might be associated with better outcomes for students and programs. In this webinar, Michael Ormsby, CEO and Dan Griffith, National Sales Manager with Essential Education will examine which features of digital technology as well as instructional practices will lead to significantly better educational outcomes in literacy and numeracy among ABE learners. Against a backdrop of effective blended and distance learning models, the webinar will give adult educators specific tools they can use to accelerate learning and skill acquisition.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7D9dJed_Uo&t=31s
