Teamwork Leads to Virtual Education Resources

Author: Mike Meyer

Planning Unit: 4-H Central Operations

Major Program: Agriculture

Plan of Work: Community Engagement and Economic Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Covid-19 restrictions have altered educational delivery possibilities for county programming.  Schools have been limited to virtual or hybrid attendance, therefore challenging agents to provide education resources in a variety of formats.  District 4 4-H Youth Development Agents have utilized current conditions to produce educational videos that cover all 4-H core content areas.  Specifically, the Agriculture committee has prioritized implementation of mixed methods to best reach youth in the district.  The committee has completed instruction videos for hands-on lessons like cow-eye dissection.  In addition, live Zoom sessions provide interactive platforms related to livestock education, evaluation, and forage quality.  This approach provides a live session with agents and specialists, as well as a recorded option for later club use.  District 4 Agents and programs utilize this shared resource to help deliver quality programming options during a difficult time.  Plans are to continue virtual educational resource options for the duration of school and club limitations.
