Instructional Technology Spring Webinar Series



Teachers often tell me that they want more time to collaborate and learn. However, there is not enough time during district PD days and/or faculty meetings. My plan is to offer webinars in the evenings as a convenient way to support teachers in their learning. Webinars will be one hour in length (earn 1 Kalpa/PD hour). Teachers were surveyed to help determine the schedule and identify topics.

Webinars will be hosted using the Zoom platform. The structure of each webinar will include a presentation, time for independent practice, sharing of learning with the group, and reflection & goal setting.

Webinar Schedule:
  • Monday, March 27, 7-8pm: Safari Montage: Digital Content for your Classroom
  • Wednesday, April 12, 7-8pm:  Support Student Learning with Snap & Read and Co:Writer
  • Tuesday, May 2, 7-8pm: The New Google Sites Platform (Now Available to Students)
  • Thursday, May 18, 7-8pm: Illuminate DnA: Assessments & Reports
  • Tuesday, June 6, 7-8pm: Creating Interactive Activities with SMART Notebook

Hope to see you there!

The webinar platform was funded by a grant from the Walled Lake Foundation for Excellence. Thank you FFE!

Have you checked out Google Keep lately?

Last night I presented a webinar, along with the other members of the ISTE EdTech Coaches PLN Leadership team: Add to Your Ed Tech Coaching Toolkit: Tools for Organization.  Although I cannot share the recording publicly (the webinar is a member benefit for ISTE members only), I can share the handout we created. I also recorded my portion of the webinar separately so that I can share the good news about Google Keep! The video below is 3.5 minutes long. Enjoy!

As part of the Spring 2017 ISTE Professional Learning Series, join me and the rest of the ISTE Ed Tech Coaches PLN leadership team for a webinar this coming Wednesday, March 8, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern. The topic is Add to Your Ed Tech Coaching Toolkit: Tools for Organization.
Although the webinar is geared towards the unique needs of an edtech coach, anyone wanting to become more organized may discover a thing or two that may help. Discover web tools you can use to schedule meetings, keep track of to-do lists, communicate with staff, & organize and deliver professional development.
