Get Your Badge: Module 5

You should have completed three one-page handouts on the 3 different topics in this module:

1. Connecting the the Internet
2. Working with Smart Devices
3. Web Conferencing

You will use one of those handouts as the focus on your final project. You should create a description or fully act out using that handout with someone else. It can be a teaching or modeling session with someone else.

If you like to write, you can write a description of how you would use the handout with an older adult. In your description, you should address the following topics:

1. What do you know about your audience?
2. What will you do to prepare for your teaching or modeling session?
3. How will you leverage a delivery model, such as "I do, we do, you do" during your session?
4. What might the older adult be thinking during our session? How might I react to that?
5. What might the older adult be feeling during our session? How might I react to that?

If you choose to interact with someone, record the session on video. (Be sure to get permission from the person you're working with.) This is the preferred final product. You're only showing the steps of one skill that is summarized on your one pager, so it shouldn't take too long. Either at the end of the video or in another format, reflect on the same five questions presented above. Actually working through the session with someone else will likely make it easier to answer some of these questions.

Note to Teachers/Coordinators: An option is to have members of the team do this in person in front of each other, like in a Fishbowl setting. At the end of the session, you could ask the students the questions for reflection. The benefit of a document or video is having a tangible artifact, but you decide what works best for your setting.
