Badging in Action: Becoming a Tech Integration Coach in Texas

Learn about how the Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning, TRAIN PD, at Texas A&M has launched a 7-level badge program for certifying Technology Integration Coaches who will then catalyze the use of technology in workforce and adult education instruction across Texas.

“Having programs and teachers not integrating technology into instruction is just not an option any more. Badging offers a fun and scalable way to develop Technology Integration Coaches.” — Glenda Rose, PD Specialist and Project Chief Designer, Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning

Google Quizzes

Many of you may already use Google Forms as a survey tool or to pose questions to check for student comprehension. Now formative assessment is all the faster as Google has added the feature of Quizzes to Google Forms. Student responses can be automatically compiled and graded, saving teachers hours of repetitive grading. Teachers can also select correct answers and even enter explanations and review materials for when a student gets an answer wrong.

To use the Quizzes features within Google Forms, click on the Settings button in the top right (the circular gear icon), and choose Quizzes. This short video tutorial by Shawn Beard at The Techy Coach also walks you through the process.

Have you tried it? Let us know how it went on Twitter by posting to @WorldEdUS using #EdTechCenter.

E-LEARNING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Team Teaching an Integrated Curriculum

Team Teaching an Integrated Curriculum is a 6-week facilitated course designed to prepare basic skills and professional-technical instructor teams to work together to provide low-skilled adults the basic and workforce skills they need to succeed along their chosen career pathways. By the end of the course, participants will be prepared to plan an integrated course that reflects the priorities and strengths of both instructors and uses varied team teaching approaches in the classroom. In addition, participants will discuss effective communication strategies to navigate the differences that naturally arise in a working partnership.

Course dates: June 13-July 25, 2017
