Adult educators are responding to how the evolving COVID-19 outbreak is impacting programs, staff, and students. Working from home while your program is temporarily closed requires you to find new ways to work with your students from a distance. Fortunately, there are alternatives to holding face-to-face classes. To help you respond to this need, the SABES Program Support PD Center (Digital Literacy) is offering this webinar to help you prepare to provide instruction online using the free platform, Google Classroom.
Please Note: This is Part 1 of a two-part series. For more information on Part 2 and to register, go to https://www.sabes.org/event/18871. You are not required to register for both sessions. If you have already attended one of the prior Google Classroom webinars, you may still register for this session as a refresher, or you may register directly for Part 2, a follow-up that will go deeper into various tools that Google Classroom offers.
In addition to this webinar, our presenter will be available to work with you individually and respond to questions you might have following the webinar as you begin to onboard staff and students.
