“COVID surely presented its challenges to providing quality, in-person professional development, and John’s webinars were a great solution for us. I knew the topics would be diverse and well planned, and my staff could attend live or via an archived link. Renewing for the Fall of 2022 was a no-brainer for us.” – Jim Frye Assistant Technology Coordinator, Upper Sandusky E.V. Schools

2023-24 Webinar Topics

The entire webinar schedule for the 2023-24 school year is available here. These sessions have been carefully selected to address a wide range of needs from elementary, middle school, and high school teachers.

NEW for 2023-24: This year I will be thoughtfully discussing the use of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google Bard in the classroom. Rather than offer a single, generic AI session, I will be sharing ideas for using these new tools during my instructional toolbox series taking place in October and November.

Each session provides practical ideas and advice on how to use technology to enhance learning in a face-to-face or virtual classroom.
