Digital Literacy Specialist Webinar Series
The Digital Literacy Specialist meetings are an opportunity to gather resources for supporting staff and students in building their digital literacy skills. During these meetings, the digital literacy specialists across the state share successes, challenges, and best practices for ensuring that students receive the technology instruction and support needed to participate successfully in distance learning and to find or maintain employment, and that staff can support distance learning, teach remotely as needed, and use technology to enhance instruction and promote digital literacy in students.
Webinars are held on a Thursday every other month at 2:00-3:00 p.m. Digital literacy specialists are contacted directly by Bethany Lezanic for participation.
For information on this webinar series, email Bethany Lezanic at blezanic@tiu11.org.
