As we wrap up our learning, we spent some time reflecting on the experience of learning to game. We reflected on strengths, areas of improvement, and things that went well or that can be changed. Overall, my student had an enjoyable experience!๐ฎ๐ป#LetsTeachAdults@YEPeducation
Assessment: After spending the past weeks learning how to play LOTRO, we took the time to assess how far our learning has come. We used a different account to apply and challenge the skills that we learned to play independently. #letsteachadults@YEPeducation

This week we took the time to do the multiple intelligence test. Found out that my learner is stongest in spatial-visual intelligence. We talked about how we can continue doing and change in our upcoming lessons. @YEPeducation#LetsTeachAdults
Lesson 7. Today we reviewed crafting items for our character on Lord of the Rings Online. We were introduced to the quest log to help us keep track of all of our quests, and discussed how different quests have different levels associated with them.#LetsTeachAdults@YEPeducation
Lesson 6. Continuing to learn how to play Lord of the Rings Online, we touched on a new area of the game with crafting! We had fun debating which vocation we wanted our character to pursue, and our character successfully made hard biscuits ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ณ #LetsTeachAdults@YEPeducation

Our third lesson covered the topic of moving our character in the game๐๐ปโโ๏ธ. My learner and I also discussed how they felt as this task was a little more difficult than the ones we had before. Using confirmatory phrases helped with our discussion @YEPeducation#letseachadults

For our second lesson on gaming, we learned how to customize our character. We also took time to review how to log in to her account and discussed how games had to update from time to time. My learner was surprised with how long it took to update. #LetsTeachAdults@YEPeducation
Happy to be returning this term with my learner! This time we will be learning to game on Lord of the Rings Online. Today we learned how to set up our account and how to download the game onto our computer. #LetsTeachAdults@YEPeducation
@jeremy_class@YEPeducation Hi Jeremy. Not so much a surprise, but I was happy to hear that my mom found technology less intimidating. She's definitely more willing to try new things on her own first. ๐
1/2 This week we spent some time learning how to use, create and share a playlist on Youtube. We also took the time to reflect on our learning. Here are some of the questions: How has your experience learning technology changed over the past weeks? @YEPeducation#LetsTeachAdults
@MissLauraZYEP@YEPeducation I love this idea! One of the barriers to the Covid Alert App is understanding how it works. This is a great way to incorporate what's happening locally into your lessons!
@meow_teachinkat@YEPeducation This is a great idea! Online banking is a great way to access information in a secure way while staying safe at home! Did your grandma find the process easier or harder than she initially thought?
This week we learned how to change the settings on our phone ๐ฑ, including how to customize our ring tone. We also took the opportunity to reflect on how the use of technology influences our interactions with people around us. @YEPeducation#LetsTeachAdults
@YEP_AndreaC@YEPeducation These questions are very thorough! They address multiple factors that may impact your student's learning. This is a great use of the questions matrix!
