The workshop for childcare  providers was titled  “Technology  101,” and conducted by Paulette Failauga of Evergreen Learning in Chalan Kanoa.




There  were a total of 12 participants of various childcare programs throughout the CNMI in the training, with two providers from Tinian and 10 from Saipan.

The workshop was   a  two-part training, with  one part focusing on  basic to intermediate  skills for  Microsoft Word, a  software primarily used  for  creating documents  and media  content  needed in childcare programs.

Throughout this first part, childcare  providers  were given  a hands-on opportunity  to develop  and learn more on Microsoft Word, including a  variety of ways to utilize  the software  to enhance efficiency and productivity  through time-saving tips and shortcuts.

Providers were given a task to create a personalized newsletter for their program or classroom using different  features of Microsoft Word. Newsletters  are an efficient means of communication with families for the Reach Higher CNMI, Quality Rating Improvement System Star 1 requirements categorized under Family Engagement and Strengthening.

The purpose of the second part of this workshop was utilizing Google Apps, where providers  were tasked to upload their newsletters  and share them with others using Google Drive, the cloud-based storage solution that allows you to save and share files online  and access them anywhere  from any electronic device. Participants also got a chance to utilize Google Calendar to create online reminders and meeting invitations, as well as other scheduled events for themselves and others.
