Navigating Resistance to Technology Implementation at East Side Adult Edu.
Session 5: 9:15am-10:15am (Saturday March 02, 2024)
Description
In this presentation, the facilitators will describe a technology implementation project at East Side Adult Education. The three-part project includes Canvas support for teachers in all departments, a Canvas professional development course for ASE teachers who are unable to participate in meetings, and new ESL classes with blended learning approaches. Participants in this presentation will gain ideas on how to incorporate technology into their own campuses. The proposed plans Michelle has for the ESL department is to hope to switch one of the instruction days from in-person to asynchronous lessons, the teachers will then have time to collaborate with their peers and incorporate technology in teaching as well as to meet WASC goals. On the other hand, adult ESL students with family or financial obligations will have access to classes with more options.
