Tech Talk

Date: Thursday, May 2, 2019

Time: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Registration Fee: $100.00 / person for CALP staff, First Nations College staff or CCI staff

Trainers:

Sue Stegmeier & Nicole Levesque, Literacy for Life Foundation 

Session Description:

This 1-day training will provide opportunities for the participants to gain the understanding they need to be flexible and adaptable when training others in technology. This interactive session will provide tools that participants can use to encourage learners to identify common concepts, structures and navigational methods, rather than a “step-by-step, how-to “approach”. Facilitation/instruction is based on best practice in adult learning and brain learning. Strategies and activities that can be used with adult learners will be modeled throughout the day. Participants must bring their own device (phone, tablet, computer etc.) as well as ear phone/buds. Some preparation is required (maximum ½ hour) and an email will be sent out a few weeks prior with the information. Participants should have a good background in technology. 

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will gain an understanding of common concepts, structures and navigation methods present across the many different technology tools found in work, play and community that include but not limited to tablets, phones and computers.
  
  
• Participants will be able to transfer this knowledge to enhance existing classes or design new ones that better address the rapid changes occurring in the world of technology.
  
  
• Participants will receive current relevant resources that will support their work in building technology skills with foundational and literacy learners.

Intended Audience: Adult Literacy Program Staff, Family Literacy Program Staff
