- For more information, visit the conference website.
Is the conference really free?
YES! And you can attend as many or as few sessions as you like.
I want to attend a particular session, but I have a conflict. Are these sessions recorded?
YES. The sessions will be archived on this website and you will also receive links to the session recordings in a newsletter post-conference. To see last year's Conference Archive, click here.
Do you have a certificate or some form to show attendance or participation?Unfortunately, due to the high rate of registration and very limited personnel, we can not provide attendance certificates to attendees. Your options are graduate credit and Michigan educators can apply for SCECHs.
What devices can I use to attend the virtual conference.
Blackboard Collaborate works best on laptops, but can also be accessed by mobile phone and tablet if you download the Blackboard Collaborate app. Note that on these mobile devices, the tools will be limited and accessing Google docs that might be used in a session will be difficult.
**NOTE: Blackboard Collaborate is not compatible with Chromebooks.**
How do I test to make sure I can access Blackboard Collaborate?
Visit this page of the conference website for instructions on how to test Blackboard Collaborate on your computer. For a step by step tutorial about how to access Blackboard Collaborate conference sessions, watch the video above.
