This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from October 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. Do your digital natives suffer from "digital naivete"? They may be fluent enough with technology to create and post their own work, but not be aware that everyone who posts online isn't credible. Teaching students to sift through multiple sets of "facts" allows them to learn the difference between propaganda, advertising, and factual reporting. This is a skill that students need in order to be truly digitally literate. In an age of instant information, students need to know how to tell if they can trust a source of information. Join us to learn strategies for helping them. Participants will: 1. Explore tools and strategies for teaching media literacy; 2. Learn strategies that promote critical examination of online resources; and 3. Plan a learning activity that fosters digital literacy. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from July 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. Making a learning environment accessible for everyone is critical to a successful inclusive classroom. Today's classrooms are diverse and include English Language Learners and students with learning challenges, whether they have been identified or not. Every teacher needs to be able to create and deliver content in a way that is accessible to each student. Fortunately, teachers already have free technologies at their disposal to assist with this. Join us as we explore strategies and tools that facilitate an inclusive learning environment. Participants will: 1. Understand the importance of accessibility; 2. Learn about a free Microsoft tool that can be used to digitize content into accessible materials; and 3. Discover a tool that helps bridge communication gaps and supports accessible classroom learning. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

This recording of an OK2Ask online professional learning session from July 2019, opens in Adobe Connect. Good instruction relies heavily on assessment and feedback. Teachers need to know what students have learned, and students need feedback to see if they have understood what the teacher has tried to convey. Technology can help us with this assessment and the feedback loop in several ways. Learn to clarify instructions, automate assessment, and individualize feedback using tools from the free Microsoft online suite: Forms, OneNote, and Sway. Participants will: 1. Discover how to use Forms to create formative and summative assessment; 2. Explore how OneNote features can enhance assessment; and 3. Examine how Sway can be utilized for instruction and evaluative purposes. This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.
