Free classroom technology presentations this Saturday

Below is information on "Day of Learning 3" from SimpleK12, which is an online training company. These 30 minute online webinars are free to attend live (online) at the times listed.  Access to the recordings at a later date is not free.  They are given by a variety of teachers, educational tech consultants, and SimpleK12 staff.  I have attended sessions during a previous "day of learning" held by SimpleK12 and found some interesting.

Subject: Special Saturday "Day of Learning 3" Just For You

Looking for a FREE day of Teacher Professional Development? Look no further - we've planned a special Saturday "Day of Learning 3" just for you and all of the teachers at your school.

We're hosting this Day of Learning 3 on a Saturday so you can organize your own Professional Development day at school and bring teachers in to view these webinars as a group.  Best of all, we've even planned time between sessions, and a break in the middle of the day, to allow teachers to work amongst themselves!

Be sure to let all the principals and teachers in your district know about this great FREE professional development event so they can enjoy an exciting day of learning too.

If your school doesn't pull together for the Day of Learning 3, you can still join in on the fun from home.  Webinars are viewable from your home PC or even your iPad (with the free Citrix GoToMeeting App).

All sessions are FREE

Space is limited, so reserve your seat now before it's too late!
