Overview
In this module, participants will be given opportunities to explore a variety of creative and useful strategies to deliver to a group of adult students with limited technology skills or limited technology access in a classroom environment. Participants will also be encouraged to actively seek other strategies that will serve and motivate them in their learning and teaching practice. New knowledge and a different perspective will be acquired when it comes to barriers for adult students when selecting a takeaway teaching strategy that will accommodate limited technology skills and limited technology access classrooms.
Connecting with the previous module, Module 1: Learning Resource Design, design and adding on to the participants existing learning, this module will include important communication tool strategies, community partnerships, connection opportunities, and ideas to ponder about adult learning. This creative low technology teaching strategies module will give the participant an alternative perspective on teaching strategies in a low-tech/no-tech learning environment.
Note: Use this sheet to consign important and pertinent information discussed as you go through the modules, should you wish to do so. The RIDAR model (Review, Identify, Develop, Apply, Reflect) will be used throughout every week to help you keep track and categorize information you deemed important. RIDAR Notes Sheet (PDF)
