- Hi Doug - I know you are crazy busy - but I still wanted to update you on our free webinars and hope you can join us for one of them soon (and do one too). BTW - Judy Spicer is going to do one 9/30 on reading math textbooks!
We've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.
You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Kim
