Gale,
a company that produces research and learning resources for schools
and libraries, has begun showing customers a new professional
learning hub for teachers. The Learning Center, as it's called, will
help educators learn how to work with Gale
In Context: For Educators
for identifying and organizing curriculum, using it for in-person and
remote instruction and collaborating with other members of the school
staff in developing lessons. The hub is expected to be launched in
early 2021.
A similar self-help hub is already available in another product, the Gale Digital Scholar Lab. In the For Educators version, teachers
will be able to find videos, tips and tricks and step-by-step
tutorials, as well as sample
content sets.
While
this is intended as just-in-time professional development for use
with a specific Gale product, the company also produces more
traditional online PD
materials.
