Upcoming OTAN Activities to Support Adult Educators – Week of 9/28

OTAN has scheduled a number of online webinars and Office Hours for our adult education colleagues who are teaching and supporting their learners remotely. (All times below are PDT.)

• Visit OTAN's COVID-19 Field Support webpage that we are continually updating with relevant information for teachers, students, and administrators: COVID-19 Field Support

• OTAN Office Hours provide an opportunity to ask more detailed questions and get support on specific tools to use with students. You can sign up for these OTAN Office Hours at the California Adult Education Training Calendar:

• Tuesday, September 29 from 4:00 to 5:00pm

• Thursday, October 1 from 12:00 to 1:00pm (our new time!)

• On Monday at 2:30pm, Alisa Takeuchi will continue the Bitmoji Classroom Series. In this 3-part series (today is Part 2), today's webinar will include steps on how to create a virtual Bitmoji classroom and insert a Bitmoji using Google Slides with basic examples. Attendees will be encouraged to follow along in this hands-on webinar and will be assigned homework where they will create their own classroom. You can sign up for this webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.

• On Wednesday at 2:30pm, Alisa Takeuchi will complete the Bitmoji Classroom Series. In this 3-part series (today is Part 3), participants will learn how to make their classroom interactive by inserting links and videos, as well as time for those who wish to share their new Bitmoji Classrooms. You can sign up for this webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.

• On Friday at 10:00am, Susan Coulter will host Office Hours for Maximizing Moodle. The many features and resources available in Moodle (which OTAN upgraded over the summer) can be daunting to new users. Join us to get one-on-one support, help, suggestions and just plain old encouragement in using Moodle with learners. Attending teachers will drive the session with their questions and needs. You can sign up for these Office Hours at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.

• On Friday at 11:00am, Jaemi Nash and others will present Ask an Adult Ed Administrator – Discussion. Join a panel of adult school administrators for a discussion of topics that you bring to the forefront, including integrating technology across programs, enrollment, and outreach, eLearning tools, building partnerships to increase access to higher education for adult learners, online CTE training, or other areas of interest. The panel will address these topics and more. You can sign up for this webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.
