Supporting ELA and Adv Multilingual learners dig lit - SABES Problem Solving Skills in Technology Environments

2 PD Hours

In this session, instructors of ELA and advanced-level language learners will explore ways that problem-based learning supports their learners' navigation of—and problem-solving in—technology-rich environments. Practitioners will first refine their understanding of the digital literacies that lead to digital resilience, then collaborate to analyze standards-aligned problem scenarios and projects that draw on and expand learners' digital and information literacy skills. Finally, working in context-alike teams, participants will discuss ways to adapt the session content and concepts to their own remote and in-person classes.

Upon completion of this professional development activity/course, you will be able to:

• Use the problem-based and/or project-based learning approach to integrate digital literacy skills into content instruction
• Sequence a set of learning tasks to provide direct instruction in information and media literacy skills and build learners’ digital resilience.
• Differentiate between the reading skills and strategies required for close reading online and in print.

This course is a collaboration between the ELA and ESOL C&I PD teams.
