Engaging Students During Online Learning

(2020) Not being in the same physical space as a student creates unique challenges that require some adaptations of the tools we already have in our educator toolkits. This workshop will outline specific strategies useful in engaging students when lessons are delivered virtually. Workshop attendees will walk away with specific approaches as well as information on resources related to this topic.

Working at Home and Teaching your own Children/Grandchildren

(2020) Here we go again- working from home and teaching your children/grandchildren! Join Liz Bliss from the NYS-MEP and other staff from around the state in a conversation about your own plans, highlights, and roadblocks. Come discuss what's working and what you need with a group of colleagues in the same boat to develop new ideas and brainstorm together as we balance wearing many hats at once during a challenging time.

Hosting Zoom Meetings

(2020) Join us to learn about settings and features for hosting Zoom meetings. We will demonstrate how you can set security controls before meetings and how to use security options during meetings. Practice using features that increase the engagement and learning experience for student and co-worker participants.
