Whether we are six feet apart or teaching online, our classrooms are going to look different this school year. No longer can we rely on our regular pair and share or group work formats, but that doesn’t mean collaboration and sharing is over. How can we take what we already know about engaging students and translate it to distanced learning experiences to build community?

In this edWebinar, learn about examples from a range of tech options that turn your in-class activities to ones you can use this fall.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to elementary through high school teachers.
