*Translated from the original French version* As you know, some classrooms (or schools) could be temporarily closed due to COVID-19. As a result, many students may find themselves receiving virtual education in less than 24 hours. This can be a major challenge for many families, especially those who are less comfortable with computers. In order to overcome this problem, 8 educators from 7 different school service centres have collaborated to create a multilingual tool entit...led "Distance Education" (translated into 7 languages: English, Spanish, Swahili, Arabic, Mandarin, Portuguese, Punjabi). Follow this link to access it: https://bit.ly/PLURI_ecole_a_distance The topics covered are the following: - How to use Microsoft Teams? (installing the application, features, etc.). - How to use Google Classroom (creating an account, joining a virtual class, finding assignments, etc.). - School expectations (role of the school, parent, and student) - Tips for working effectively: recommendations for students - Rules for a successful videoconference - Multilingual resources on COVID-19

Check out the upcoming workshops YES Employment + Entrepreneurship has lined up for you, starting next week!
