LEARN NC to present at North Carolina English Teachers Association Conference

LEARN NC’s Melissa Thibault will present a session on free online resources at this year’s North Carolina English Teachers Association Conference. The conference takes place October 23-25 at Twin City Quarters in Winston-Salem.

An abstract of Thibault’s presentation, “Prepare the Citizens of Tomorrow with Relevant, Technology-enhanced Instruction: Free Lessons and Tools from LEARN North Carolina,” follows:

Future-ready students need the skills and habits of mind that will prepare them for a job that may not even exist today. These 21st century skills are essential, yet lessons we choose must be reliable and aligned with the North Carolina curriculum. With LEARN NC’s resources, you don’t have to choose between preparing future-ready students and preparing for the test. Come discover how you can ensure students will be engaged in real-world activities that integrate critical, computer and information literacy, providing authentic opportunities for global understanding and developing collaborative skills.
