TRAINER FAQ

Can I use curriculum modules that are not on your website? Absolutely! The only required curriculum pieces are for participants to create a Gmail account and complete a final project. Otherwise, as long as the information contributes to your participants’ and families’ digital literacy in a positive manner, we encourage you to use the resources that are most relevant and accessible for them. Share with us any effective learning materials you use that are not on our website! We are constantly reevaluating, adding, and modifying existing modules in order to offer the most comprehensive and useful information for our participants and trainers.

Can I add participants after my class has already started? As long as 1) you do not exceed the maximum number of participants (15 families for school and early childhood sites; 15 individuals for community sites) AND 2) the added participants are able to complete at least 15 hours of training, you may be able to accommodate additional participants after the first day of class. We will likely need to coordinate with our vendor to get more devices to you, so contact us with specific information as soon as you anticipate this need.

My friend/co-worker/mom wants to help me teach my course. Is that okay? We encourage you to have a co-trainer, especially for any class size over ten participants or families; however, any co-trainers must also participate in the Trainer Orientation with us to ensure that they are familiar with the process, expectations, and curriculum. Volunteers are also welcome to assist. Volunteers are individuals that assist in the class but have not completed a Trainer Orientation and do not lead the class training.
