This Act 48-approved; 15-hour course is the one-stop resource we wished we had during the pandemic. It starts by identifying priority skills and course content, exploring top recommended online apps for organization, communication, flipped classrooms, and assessments. Apps covered include Padlet, WeVideo, Screencastify, Poll Everywhere, Pear Deck, Online Whiteboards, Crash Course, Quizizz, Wakelet, and more.
We consulted teachers across disciplines and ages to compile resources that worked—and those that didn’t. Whether you taught through the pandemic or are new to teaching and want to be prepared for the unexpected, this online professional development course is for you.
