Gordon County 4-H is presenting the 2nd in its series of workshops as part of the 4-H Tech Changemakers program at the Calhoun-Gordon County Library this Tuesday, October 29.
National 4-H Council and Microsoft are working together to close the connectivity gap in rural areas by empowering teens to bring technology and digital skills access to their communities. Over 90% of total jobs in the economy now require experience with digital tools. The 4-H Tech Changemakers program puts teens at the forefront of creating change in their communities, empowering them to serve as digital ambassadors by equipping them with the tools, resources and technical partners to train adults to use technology.
Gordon County 4-H’s program consists of ongoing educational sessions taught by teens to adults wanting to learn digital literacy skills. These teens have been trained to teach adults in this content area, and will be supported by a 4-H staff member or volunteer at each session. Sessions currently scheduled include:
October 29 – Buyer Beware: Online Shopping
November 25 – Keeping Children Safe Online
December 16 – Naughty or Nice? Lesson in Netiquette
This month’s workshop, “Buyer Beware” will focus on helping adults utilize online shopping resources safely. The workshop begins at 5 p.m. this Tuesday at the Calhoun-Gordon County library; pre-registration is not required. Please contact the Gordon County Extension/4-H Office at 706-629-8685 for more information.
