Here's how the professional development for featured speakers and moderators works:
- We select a small group of educators from around the country to participate in a series of hands-on virtual workshops prior to the conference to develop their virtual teaching skills.
- Although time is afforded in the PD sessions for the featured speaker and moderator to craft and rehearse their one-hour webinar presentation, additional outside time will be required to fine tune the presentation, practice navigating Blackboard Collaborate, and learn the nuances of working as a team in this digital space.
- It is imperative that you be available for all training dates and times listed below.
Thursday, August 11,12noon-3pm EST
Thursday, August 18,12noon-3pm EST
