Abstract:
In a time of uncertainty, many educators have been thrust into virtual teaching with little in the way of support. This webinar will share lessons learned from The PHL Technology and Adult Education Initiative, an ongoing community of practice where Philly-based educators advance their use of technology through collaboration and inquiry with peers. A local program administrator in Philadelphia will provide tips and strategies for Google Classroom she gained as a participant of the initiative, which she has expanded for her learners during COVID-19. Ideas for building community and providing collaborative professional development remotely and in a time of scarce resources will also be shared. Come prepared to connect, learn, and reflect as a community! The PHL Technology and Adult Education Initiative was supported by the Office of Adult Education, a division of Philadelphia's Office of Workforce Development.

Are your students proficient and effective readers? Can they analyze and evaluate what they read, or do they struggle with basic comprehension? Do your students struggle with drawing conclusions or making inferences? In this webinar, we will explore reading and reasoning strategies that will help students better understand what they read, whether they are preparing for the GED® test or dealing with real-life reading needs at work or home.

Abstract:
Google Forms and Sheets can be used in a variety of ways to enhance learning and teaching in adult education. With Forms, we can develop personalized lessons, create automated quizzes, and solicit feedback from students and staff so they can more actively participate in program design. With Sheets, we can organize data dashboards to target student support and visualize instructional needs. In this session, we will take a high-level tour of some core features to hopefully inspire ideas on how we can use these apps to better support students and staff, while also exploring online learning opportunities so participants can extend the learning after the session.

Abstract:
Google Classroom is a free blended learning platform that allows educators to create online classes where they can create multiple classes, invite students, distribute, grade, or return assignments, communicate with individuals or entire classes, and add co-teachers.

This webinar will cover the basics of Google Classroom including: steps of creating classes, changing themes, class codes, assignment streams, adding topics, enrolling students, adding co-teachers, organizing streams, calendaring, and basic grading, and how teachers can view their classroom as a student.

Abstract:
Many schools and colleges are taking a “crash course” in distance learning implementation. This webinar looks at some of the key issues - such as pre- and post-test assessment, determining how to count instructional hours, and recording this activity in TOPSPro Enterprise - that have presented challenges.

Abstract:
I-BEST is a recognized and successful IET model that helps adult learners access and succeed in postsecondary level career and technical programs. However, this robust model may not be the right fit for students at a lower skill level, and it can be a difficult model to implement for programs not closely engaged with a community college in their region.
