TOOLS, TIPS, & TRICKS FROM ITC CARLA JEFFERSON
Resource of the Month: Applied Digital Skills for MS and HS Students
Google recently launched the Applied Digital Skills course, designed to help your students succeed online and prepare for their careers. The program includes free lesson plans and digital skills videos designed for an evolving job market.
Encourage learners to apply their digital skills to relevant, real-life problems. Tackle financial decision making, event planning, and project management.
Spend your time connecting with learners on a deeper level. Learners work independently, freeing instructors to give individualized attention.
Foster a collaborative classroom environment. Group projects allow learners to do research, analyze data and express ideas together.
