Instructional Technology Collaboration Tuesdays Webinar Series

Come join in on this great opportunity for collaboration, learning and professional growth, without having to go anywhere at all!

Dan Maguire, Kennett Consolidated School District Instructional Technology Coach and Debbie Lugar, Chester County I.U. Educational Technology Specialist are co-hosting virtual collaboration, via Elluminate webconferencing, for educators throughout Pennsylvania.  The goal is to bring educators together to share ideas and experiences, ask and answer questions, and learn about new (and some not-so-new) instructional technologies and if/how they can be used to enhance classroom instruction.

These webinars are open to educators of all grade levels and subject areas–high school level educators will meet from 3:00-4:00 PM and elementary educators from 4:00-5:00 PM.

Tuesday collaboration webinars can be accessed at vclass.cciu.org.  No prior registration is required.  Participants are asked to login with their name and school district.  (Example:  Jane Doe, Kennett)
