SUMMARY:Digital Inclusion & College Students
DESCRIPTION:It’s a common misconception that all young people are adept at using technology and have easy access to the internet. In reality\, the digital divide significantly impacts many young folks\, particularly those from lower-income families\, rural areas\, or underserved communities. As students head back to college this month\, it’s vital to address how the digital divide impacts their lives\, academic success\, and future professional opportunities. This is especially relevant as most university programs require digital proficiency\, and employers expect graduates to demonstrate core digital skills. Our panel of college students and practitioners will provide insights into current challenges and best practices for fostering an inclusive digital environment in higher education​. \nRaffle Giveaway: Adult Learning Principles \nRegister Today!\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Mental Health Matters
DESCRIPTION:The roles of digital navigators are multifaceted\, involving not just technical instruction but also empathetic support and understanding of the diverse challenges faced by those lacking access to digital resources. Moreover\, for individuals on the wrong side of the digital divide\, the inability to access digital resources can perpetuate feelings of exclusion\, inadequacy\, and frustration\, potentially impacting their mental well-being. Thus\, integrating mental health awareness into digital skills education is not just a matter of technical proficiency but a vital component of fostering inclusive\, supportive communities in the digital age. Join us as we discuss strategies for fostering an environment of empathy\, patience\, and support so that we not only impart essential digital skills but also contribute to the emotional resilience and life-long empowerment of our learners. \nRaffle Giveaway: Managing Digital Navigators \nREGISTER TODAY \n\n\n	Related
