Session description

Hosted by Zoom.
As I teach, I find that I’m constantly learning. There are so many emerging and amazing opportunities in our world that I’d love to relay to my students, but I just don’t feel qualified. In order to broaden the horizons of the classroom experience beyond my skills, I turn to remote subject matter expertise. This real-world, application driven experience can open so many doors for the students. There’s quite a bit of content available but how you curate the opportunities and make the most of your time. Come explore how to find quality content that is curriculum based. We will explore the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration and hear from a teacher that leverages these opportunities on a regular basis. Bring your expertise and let’s collaborate.
