Required equipment: You will need to join this training on a computer or laptop. Northstar is not fully compatible with mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). Please note that you may be asked to participate in discussion. Plan to join us from a quiet setting where you can use your audio.

How to Teach Digital Literacy
Tutoring with Northstar (or familiarity with another digital literacy curriculum)
Learning digital skills within the context of language and career goals can be more effective than a stand-alone computer class. This course addresses how to add digital skill instruction to the ELL, adult literacy, GED or citizenship instruction tutors are already doing. Participants will learn how to break down digital literacy curriculum to meet these integration goals. They will create lesson plans and practice teaching them to other participants in the course.
