Overview

This highly participatory, hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the ISTE Standards for Students, one of the sets of standards recommended by ACLS.

How can you know what to focus on when it comes to teaching and integrating digital literacy?

ISTE (the International Society for Technology in Education) developed a special initiative to define the digital skills that adult learners need in order to thrive in school, work, and community life. These findings can serve as a guide for adult educators in their work with students.

This initiative, the Profile of a Lifelong Learner, stands firmly on three legs: the ISTE Standards for Students; a literature review of peer-reviewed research exploring skills that predict workplace success; and a landscape scan of adult educational and occupational skills frameworks that already exist in the field. Development of the Profile was guided by a panel of advisors who represent leaders in the fields of adult education, workforce development, community college education, edtech, and K-12 career pathways.  

This workshop is the third in a series covering the digital literacy standards recommended by ACLS. Click the following LINKS to access on-demand recordings of the others:
