The Joeten Kiyu Public Library is hosting free six-session innovative technology classes starting May 20.<\/p>\n
The classes, called \u201cLearning with Technology,\u201d will be held at the public library from Tuesday through Thursday from 4pm to 6pm.<\/p>\n
Rosalyn Ajoste, the library\u2019s technical services librarian, said that the class will be taught by Gary Dubrall for eighth to ninth grade students.<\/p>\n
The class size is limited to the first 10-20 students and requirements to attend the class are a school ID and a touch-screen tablet with WiFi and note-taking capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegistration is ongoing for this entire week and interested participants may register with Mr. Dubrall in person or email,\u201d Ajoste said.<\/p>\n
She said Dubrall developed the idea for the course \u201cout of a personal desire to help the youth learn better by using technology.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal is to show 14- and 15-year-olds how to learn using YouTube and Google for all their schoolwork, how to take paperless notes and set up a class community on Google+, Skype, or one of their choosing,\u201d Dubrall said.<\/p>\n
Ajoste noted that Dubrall feels that today\u2019s students are not getting what they need or want.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t keep these kids engaged, someone or something else will. You need touch screen tablets or laptops. Old technology just doesn\u2019t work anymore,\u201d Dubrall said.<\/p>\n
