We must be prepared to continually learn new skills throughout our lives for a future we cannot predict. Although most people today have access to the internet, there are still a significant percentage of people who do not use it. Of those who do, many do not know how to use technology to help them learn the skills needed to be successful and thrive in our globally-competitive economy.  ​ What can we do about it?  Angela has a big vision.  The results of her research and experience has put her on a mission to develop and deliver high quality, relevant training programs to help bridge the digital learning divide among people of all ages and backgrounds.  She believes that one of the ways this can be accomplished is by creating communities of what she calls "Technology Champions" who are equipped with global future-facing competencies and skillsets that will allow them to become competent leaders in today's workforce and global economy. Join us as we discuss how you can help bridge the gap of these divides. 00:16:00Technology in Education and Workno#digital divide,#EdTechHow Can We Help Bridge the Digital Divide?12777bac-4c7c-425d-8941-723ed8678324111fullhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/gtechcnet/2020/01/29/keeping-your-kids-busy-with-good-technology--part-3Educationhttps://www.blogtalkradio.com/gtechcnet/2020/01/29/keeping-your-kids-busy-with-good-technology--part-3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/gtechcnet/2020/01/29/keeping-your-kids-busy-with-good-technology--part-3Wed, 29 Jan 2020 19:00:00 GMTKeeping Your Kids Busy with Good Technology - Part 3 Join us to learn about a live 4-week online activity that Angela Valentine, Google for Education Certified Trainer, will be hosting with some kids across the nation.  We will discuss the details of our 2nd Annual "Doodle for Google Hangouts" to help the kids prepare their entries for the Google Contest.   The winner of this contest will recieve a $30,000 college scholarship, a $50,000 tech package for your school/non-profit organization, and their artwork displayed for a day on Google.com!
