This year we have launched two new multimedia resources for our GenYES and TechYES schools — webinars and screencasts.
The screencasts are short 1-2 minute help videos that quickly show students, teachers and advisors how to use the online tools and curriculum for GenYES and TechYES. The first set of TechYES screencasts went up today, and TechYES schools can see them by logging into their account and looking in the Toolkit. GenYES screencasts will be coming soon.
We’ve also started to do webinars for our member schools - if you are a GenYES or TechYES teacher, advisor, or district coordinator, you should have received an email with the instructions. And if you can’t attend live, no worries - they will be archived on the Generation YES website on the Free Resources page. We plan to do one a week for now, with topics on everything from the online tools, to tips and tricks, and using the curriculum. We’d love to hear your ideas too!
The plans are to add webinars about more general topics, such as student empowerment, project-based learning, and introductions to GenYES and TechYES.
We are happy to say that our webinars are being presented in Elluminate, thanks to the fine people there who accepted us into their Community Partner program. We couldn’t do this without their support!
