This week we learned how to do basic google searches effectively. Although using Google is fairly easy, we discussed some tips and tricks that make it even easier. I used Google's on resource to help teach this. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

This week we learned a little about online shopping. Normally my mom would ask me to search for an item she wants. This week we learned to use the amazon app. We also focused a little on how to judge quality based on reviews. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

This week we continued learning about news and fake news. The following outline was created to help my learner work through any questionable stories they may come across. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

This week we began our first lesson on fake news. We started by reading news stories from legitimate sources. Next week we will compare them to less reliable sources. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

This week we had another busy week so we kept the lesson fun and learned how to use the Netflix app on a phone. This included learning how to install it from the play store. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

This week we started learning about social media, beginning with making a Facebook account. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

Spent the first meeting with my mom brainstorming ideas for the coming weeks. Some were requested and some I felt were important. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

@patrick_legere @YEPeducation That sounds like a lot of fun! How is he liking Instagram so far?

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@SarahNi26705054 @YEPeducation Sounds Iike a very productive class! My learner and I haven't started learning about online shopping yet but we are planning to learn this soon. Great work this week!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@schreiderbecca @YEPeducation That's awesome, Rebecca! It's so great to see the progress near the end of lessons.

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@NonnoRusso @YEPeducation Great idea to make a game out of a review! Sounds like a lot of fun 😀

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@rvurro1 @YEPeducation Glad your mom can start redeeming her points now! Great job!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

This week we were going to learn how to use spotify but realised my mom doesn't have an email account. So of course that was the first thing we did. Now she's ready to start using the internet on her own!

Good point about structure! I totally agree it's hard to just switch and maintain the format of the question

[lorna @lorn9_]

@mwaseem48 @YEPeducation It was a lot harder than I realized since I don't usually think about how I speak, I just y'know, speak. The structure wasn't as simple as just tacking two words together 😓

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@lorn9_ @YEPeducation The bracket to the first question is so cute!! These are some great questions. Did you find you were able to translate the questions easily or did it require some explanation?

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@celine_teach Great questions, Celine! I especially like the second one. It sounds like a great reflection prompt!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@nabilaelahi @YEPeducation The matrix is such a versatile tool! Great idea to use it to evaluate both your teaching and your learner's progress!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

@emilym_teach @YEPeducation A self evaluation is such a good idea. My learner and I alao did one this week!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

This week we used the question matrix to review our learning thus far. I asked some of the easier questions for review and asked my learner to ask some of the more difficult questions on the matrix to serve as ideas for future lessons.

@SarahNi26705054 @YEPeducation We are incorporating that for the next lesson!

[mwaseem4 @mwaseem48]

This week my learner and I learned how to use google news. We also discussed the importance of verifying sources and information to avoid fake news on the internet. #letsteachadults @YEPeducation
