I’m a huge fan of taking creative risks and trying something new. For this reason, I decided to do my first two live webinars this week. It was a truly energizing experience for me! Even though I’m an introvert, I loved the chance to connect and learn together. Below you’ll see links to the webinar replays and to the slideshows. I’ve also included information about a self-paced 2-week professional development course on empowering students in distance learning courses.

In this webinar, we cover specific strategies for improving attendance in optional class meetings (including “office hours”) and how to make all of your virtual meetings more engaging and interactive.

Webinar: Empowering Students in Distance Learning Environments
Educator Expertise: Beginning to Emerging
Description: Student engagement can be a real struggle when there is physical distance. However, the real issue isn’t simply a lack of engagement. It’s often a lack of self-direction. In other words, students aren’t taking the initiative with their own learning. In this webinar, we cover specific strategies for increasing self-direction and student ownership in distance learning classes. I’ll walk you through some specific strategies you can use in distance learning courses at the K-12 level. I also cover this topic in-depth in the upcoming professional development course on empowering students in distance learning .
