Sasha Angelina- 6A

How can we determine the difference between pushing our language learners to productive struggle vs. past their frustration point? What can educators do to intentionally address or decrease the impact that our own implicit bias may have on our expectations for our students? How can we support students, particularly multilingual learners, in un-learning low self-esteem or self-confidence for their own learning abilities? We address these questions and more with Amy King and Yvonne Williams from WCEPS, who each have over 20 years of experience in multilingual education in a variety of roles. They specialize in providing highly effective professional learning opportunities to help educators best serve their multilingual learners.

In 2023, you might expect that people would be entering the workforce with a basic understanding of computer skills. But this isn't always the case.Although it's more important than ever that people know how to use devices effectively and safely in order to get on in the workplace, some have still not learned the vital digital skills they need.Lloyds Bank's 2023 Essential Digital Skills for Work report noted that 22% of the UK's labour force lacks the digital skills necessary for the workplace, and 40% of workers struggle to effectively use the tools necessary to solve work-related problems.In this episode, Jane and Rory speak to Mark Evans, interim information technology director at Tilia Homes and member of the ITPro Network, to discuss how businesses are faring with the lack of digital skills in the workforce and what can be done to improve the levels of computer literacy in the UK.

This week 1.2 million children all across the country will start sitting their annual NAPLAN tests. And for the first time, they'll all be done online. So what are the pros and cons of doing the test on computers and what difference does it make to the usefulness of the results?

Today's good news: AARP and Google.org team up to help older workers boost income and employment opportunities with free digital skills training. Plus, a new study reveals the influence restaurant messaging has on consumers and how we can use that influence to help the planet. Listen to the Optimist Daily Update with Summers & Kristy - Making Solutions the News!

Be honest. Is it really social media you 'don't get' or might it be computer and technology in general? Understanding the root of the issue is the key to putting it right. No amount of motivation or leadership guru is going to help if you don't sort out the basics. This came to mind recently when I realised my attitude to DIY was similar to some clients' attitude to all things tech and digital. Convinced myself I'm no good, can't do it, expect the project to fail. Feel embarrassed about it and that I shouldn't even try. That's how some people feel about technology. Maybe it's someone you work with.

Technology and computer literacy are important skills necessary to succeed personally and professionally.  Just like a carpenter needs the right tools, along with the knowledge and expertise on how to use such tools to succeed, so do we need the right tools in our technology tool chest to succeed in various aspects of our lives.  During this TABRadio broadcast session we will introduce our concept of a TABTechnology Tool Chest (Technology And Business Tool Chest) while focusing on April as Financial Literacy Month.  Therefore, featuring commonly used features within Microsoft Excel and looking at some under-used features all geared to help us with our personal and business finances.  We will discuss 50 general technology and computer literacy items you can also immediately add to your tool chest during our TABWeek celebration starting on April 29th and ending on May 3rd.  During which time we are offering four days of FREE webinars covering everything from "What's Under the Hood of Your Laptop/Computer System" to "Purchasing the right Microsoft Office Suite Product."  Visit www.tabtraining.com/tabweek.htm to learn more about and how to register for the upcoming webinars.  We are limiting each webinar to ONLY the first 10 that register, and we will be giving away an exclusive offer at the end of each of the webinars.

Computer literacy is increasingly becoming a ticket into the functioning global economy, but billions of people still don’t know how to get one. [I own 34 shares of Microsoft.] Lori Forte Harnick, General Manager, Microsoft Citizenship & Public Affairs, explains, ”There is a lack of resources to teach computer science in schools globally, as well as a lack of understanding in why computer science matters. Young people and their parents need inspiration to pursue computer science and combat the stereotypes associated with the field.” “As technology has become an integral part of people’s daily lives around the world, we’re seeing a growing demand – from students, parents, teachers, governments, and nonprofits – to teach youth not only how to use technology, but also how to create technology to help them become the innovators and drivers of growth and opportunity in their communities,” she adds. Few companies have a bigger incentive to be a part of the solution to this problem than Microsoft. Appropriately, the company is stepping up in a meaningful way. Harnick says, “Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently announced an expansion of the YouthSpark program to increase access to computer science education for all youth worldwide, and especially for those from under-represented backgrounds, with a $75 million commitment in community investments over the next three years.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.

Purchasing a computer is not as difficult as purchasing a new home or a new car, but the same effort (homework) should be a part of the process. Many purchasers take for granted the process until they get home and can't find a full-installed version of Microsoft Office that they assumed was installed. The first thing that comes to mind, which should be pretty obvious, is to do some research before heading out to the local computer or technology store to shop and compare. This broadcast will focus on 10 general things to be considered before purchasing your next computer.

Discussion on the importance of Information and Technology Literacy. The Digital Divide is no longer about having access to technology instead it is the effective efficient and productive use of technology. Listen to our show...
