Hello Colleagues,
The EdTech Center @ World Education will host the second of its Distance Education Strategy Sessions this Friday at 10:00 Pacific/12:00 Central/ and 1:00 Eastern. The webinar will feature two lightning talks - brief presentations on key topics. Attendees will then choose to attend a breakout discussion on either of the topics. This week features ESOL teacher Nan Frydland talking about her use of What's App as a key instructional resource and Ginnette Chandler and Tiffany Brand sharing how New Hampshire makes use of the Teacher Verification Model for capturing proxy contact hours for distance learning. Click here to register for the webinar.
Questions and comments may be posted before or after the webinar in this LINCS discussion thread: EdTech Center Distance Education Strategy webinar Friday 3. 27
