The BBRI Instructor Workshop provides essential training for digital literacy educators, focusing on the updated curriculum designed to meet the needs of broadband non-adopters. Initial pilot classes in 2011 revealed valuable insights into learner requirements, prompting adjustments to class sizes. Participants learn to embrace learner variability, create engaging environments, and master content delivery. The workshop facilitates collaboration among trainers and offers resources such as community event updates, Google and library resources, and effective communication strategies for enhancing community engagement in digital literacy.
