Super Six Survival Sites for Teaching and Learning
Rescheduled for March 30, 2023 12:30 PM
This session will share the Top 6 Survival Sites that have been “tested and approved” by educators across the LARAEC Consortium to add to your toolkit. The session will include a deep dive into these top sites that will help take your teaching and your students’ learning to the next level. During this session educators will have the chance to see a brief overview for all six sites that have been identified as great tools. Attendees will then have the opportunity to choose the tool they would like to explore on a deeper level and utilize one of them for a lesson, activity, or assignment.
Presenter: Devon Werble (LACCD), Barry Bakin (LAUSD), and the LARAEC Remote Learning Action Planning Team
Project Based Learning in ESL and ABE
RESCHEDULED to May 4, 2023 12:30 PM
Projects that integrate technology are a powerful way to give students real-world work preparation. Students can build their knowledge in many topics while developing oral and written communication skills. Carefully-planned projects address standards, have students develop critical soft skills, give them a sense of empowerment, and not to mention build tech skills. Attend to learn about projects you can use next week in your class.
Presenter: Kristi Reyes, Mira Costa College ESL, OTAN SME, and CALPRO Facilitator
