Are you planning to attend COABE this year?  Are you presenting in the Digital Literacy and Technology Strand?  I'd love to hear what you are presenting on or what you hope to learn if you are attending.

I will be presenting a half day afternoon pre-conference session on April 10,12:30pm-3:30pm 
"The Joy of Google Slides"
Primary Presenter: Nell Eckersley 
Strand: Digital Literacy & Technology  
In this session learn the basics of Google Slides. This session is for those of you new to Google Slides and want to know the basics along with a few fancy tips and tricks. Bring your laptops! We really will use them for hands-on practice. We will cover how to start out your slides, make your own theme, find and edit images, insert videos and gifs, and publish to the web. In-person presentation only

Hi Nell! I will be presenting the following:

  • April 10th 8:30-11:30 Math & Technology Unite!
    In this session, participants will learn how to integrate technology tools, strategies, and best practices into their math instruction. Participants will view three basic lessons, three digital versions of those lessons, and then three Power Lessons that take the best of both and combine them together. They will also have an opportunity to explore math tech tools and integrate 1-2 of those tools in their own instruction.
  • April 12th 3:45-5:00 Texas' Adult Ed Med Video Project: Come See What the Fuss is All About! Come follow our 5 Adult Ed students as they upskill their way through 40 short video lessons tackling subjects like Digital Literacy and English Language Proficiency as they apply for jobs at the Adult Ed Med Hospital! Presenters will review this State Leadership Initiative from inception through project design and implementation, curriculum development and the challenges of filming during a Pandemic. Takeaways include access to videos and resources, including lesson plans and student handouts
  • April 13th 8:00-9:15 What's the Hype about Science HyperDocs in Adult Education? Have you been wondering what all the hype is about HyperDocs? Ashly Winkle & Lizelena Iglesias will help you to understand exactly what the hype is all about when they share best practices and strategies for using HyperDocs in Adult Ed Science lessons. Participants will be able to define and understand the basic components of HyperDocs and how to integrate them into Adult Ed Science instruction.

See you there!

Nell,

I'm looking forward to all the learning that will happen during COABE. I will be presenting the following with amazing colleagues of mine (within and outside of World Education Inc.)

  • April 11th, 11:45am-1:00pm -  A Focus on Equity: Learner-Centered Approaches to Instruction with Digital Technologies (Co-Presenter(s): Corina Kasior, Cynthia Peters, Mary Gaston) ​​​​​​​
    • ​​​​​​​A focus on equity demands that adult education delivery is learner-centered from multiple avenues of development. This is particularly true with instruction and programming that draws on digital technologies. Exploration of current innovative strategies can inspire and positively influence other networks to be empowered to do the same. This panel discussion will explore current learner-centered design efforts driven or supported by technology in three different areas: program data, curriculum content, and learner-voice. In-person and Virtual presentation
  • April 13th, 8:00am-9:15am DRAW together: Research- and Practitioner-Informed Resources for Digital Literacy and Resilience (Primary Presenter: Rachel McDonnell, Jobs for the Future Co-Presenter(s): Jamie Harris)
    • ​​​​​​​Digital resilience—the awareness, skills, agility, and confidence necessary to be empowered users of new technologies, actively participate in society, and adapt to the ever-changing labor market—is increasingly essential for socio-economic mobility. Digital Resilience in the American Workforce (DRAW) is a federal initiative to curate and create flexible, evidence-based resources for building the digital resilience of adult learners. Participants will explore the resources we’ve identified and inform the materials that will be developed through DRAW.
