English Learner Digital Essential Skills (ELDES)
ELDES is an innovative digital literacy curriculum. When Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA) began offering digital literacy classes, they found that many students did not have the vocabulary or foundational knowledge about computers to follow along with the default curriculum, and as a result, struggled to make progress. ELDES was written to bridge that gap for Intermediate English language learners and native English speakers who are new to computers.
The ELDES curriculum was created by the Lyndale Neighborhood Association with funding through Hennepin County’s Office of Broadband and Digital Inclusion.
