Reaching young farmers: Designing professional development in technology integration for older agricultural educators

• In Event: D&D - Training

Short Description

Agricultural educators (AE) in Northern New York Cooperative Extensions (CE) have a mission to support farmers through educational outreach. Recently, younger farmers have requested that CE educational resources and sessions be offered through technology. An ID group in central NY was contracted to design and offer a learning session to help AE develop skills to use a variety of digital technologies. A generative learning approach was used. Evaluation data suggested the learning session was successful.
