Community Outreach has created entirely new Teacher Training Modules that aim to assist educators in the delivery of digital literacy skill building for youth.
These asynchronous video modules are a reflection of the new science curriculum and math curriculum for Grades K-8, and an extension of the technology-based curriculum in Grades 9-12.
These modules are completely free for teachers and teacher candidates. All training modules are designed for educators looking to implement digital literacy skills in their classrooms!
