The purpose of my presentation is to encourage guests to understand that U is at the center of commUnity, and they are the center of their community building. Four agencies will be shared to provide an unforgettable experience:
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Bookings
Wakelet
Microsoft Flip
Bonus: Canva for Edu
Learners will see living examples of how to construct a Microsoft Team, how I created and co-collaborated with staff and students to grow various communities, and how to develop their own Team.
Learners will connect with me using the live Bookings tool and create their calendars to provide feedback, personalized learning, and coaching experiences to colleagues or students.
Learners will participate in and create their own Wakelet collection and Flip recordings to understand how connections and community is grown by partnering and engaging all parties involved in successful education.
