Developing Applied Digital Skills Using Google Tools Series
WIOA defines digital literacy as “the skills associated with using technology to enable users to find, evaluate, organize, create, and communicate information.” In this series we will explore how we can better integrate digital skills into the academic skills we are already developing and strengthening with our students.
Session 2: Introduction to Google Slides and the Applied Digital Skills Platform from Google
Description: Google’s Applied Digital Skills Platform is a free, video-based, online curriculum designed to prepare teens and adults for the evolving job market. The curriculum teaches project-based digital skills relevant to real-life situations like event planning, budgeting, creating a guide to an area, finding a job, and more. The curriculum can be facilitated by an instructor or taken independently. In this session, we’ll take a tour of the platform and explore the lessons through the lens of reading and writing skills. We will look at how to use the lesson ideas with different levels of students. We will also explore Google Slides for presentations and digital storytelling.
