Unlike many online presentations that attempt to teaching the tools in a tight time frame, this webinar skillfully presented how the tools can be used in the classroom with useful tips. Learning how to manage the use of the tools themselves can be easily achieved in other ways either by using resources on the websites or watching YouTube videos.
The edWeb.net calendar is filled with free webinars on the 2016 calendar. It is important to sign-up even if you cannot manage watching a webinar at the scheduled time. You will be sent an email link after the webinar so that you can watch it at your convenience.
