When Dr. Shirley had to rebuild a clothing and textiles extension program with limited time and resources, she turned to social media and technology.  With the national standards in clothing and textiles as well as STEM requirements in her sights, she searched for free resources that educators could use.

She organized her findings into nine different areas and developed tutorials on each. As a teacher educator, she crosswalked all resources to ensure compatibility with secondary teaching. And now she is ready to go viral with her findings and share them with other professionals in clothing and textiles.

At this solutions-oriented webinar, you will learn step-by-step research-based strategies for implementing the very latest technology into your clothing and textiles programs.  And you will hear how you can use these resources to advocate for your program and build job security!

In just 90 minutes, you will learn how to: 

• Use the latest technology resources to enhance teaching of clothing and textiles related content.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of social media, websites, and video resources available for teaching in this content area.

• Examine examples of innovative, research-based teaching strategies and step-by-step processes for implementing them
