Ready to pair a new strategy with a favorite EdTech tool? Earlier this year, I hosted a three-part series with the folks at OTIS for Educators all about EdTech Essentials. Well, I’m very excited to join them again this fall for a special webinar series. This time around, each webinar focuses on one of the ten strategies from my new book EdTech Essentials: The Top 10 Technology Strategies for All Learning Environments. The four strategies featured in these EdTech webinars are curate, assess, collaborate, and assess.
Each webinar will pair an “essential” (curate, assess, collaborate, and assess) with a favorite EdTech tool to ensure you have everything you need to put these ideas into practice. We’ll look at four EdTech tools, including Wakelet, Nearpod, Lumio, and EdPuzzle. These tools are popular in many classrooms, and I’ll dive into each one during the webinar series.
Ready to join us for this special series? You can sign up for one or all four of these free webinars. Each one will have a replay, so if you sign up and miss it, we’ll send along a replay link for you.
