TESL Ontario Webinar

When was there ever a more pivotal time to bring digital literacy into your classroom? How can learning strategies be taught in an online environment? It's a fact that technology surrounds us and our Literacy learners, so let's take advantage of it in a multi-level Literacy lesson!

Everywhere we go nowadays, we need to engage with some sort of technology, even at the Grocery Store. The self-checkout can be the quickest and most contact-free way of shopping although using it can be daunting, especially for the Literacy Learner.

In this webinar, we will walk you through a successful Self-Checkout lesson. Learn how you can modify this lesson:

• for a multi-level online and face-to-face Literacy class,
• to incorporate learning strategies, and
• to have a Reading and Writing lesson to use in your own classroom.

A video and picture book will be available for your use.
