Session description

What will be the spark that ignites student careers? For this quest, foundations and global partners built no-cost career resources, virtual field trips, recorded interviews, pre-built PowerPoints, and live classroom visits. Irreplaceable exposure to content and careers. Come take away gold. Let them see what they can be.

Outline

15 minutes: Presenter explains origin and scope of free material. Breaks
participants into teams. Presenter models resource "scraping" by diving deep into resources, especially those tied to national or state CTE standards, using three examples from free Open Education Resources. Participants download master workshop materials ( on phones, tablets, or laptops) from the Google Doc built for the session. The doc contains links, theme, and targets -teachers or parents or after school programs--simplifying resource exploration.
-15 minutes: Participants in teams explore no-cost resource sites and
materials. Many of the resources have branches for different grades levels
and goals. Career resources include artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and privacy.Each team will be guides to explore a minimum, of two resource
sites. Teams then create six-word stories summaries of the resource(s) they
reviewed.
-20 minutes: Teams present their six-word stories and expand on the
resources they reviewed. After exploring, they move six-word story
summaries on to a pre-set Google Doc.
-10 minutes: Review of new summaries. Reflections, Q & A
