How to get the most out of your Virtual Conference Experience On-Demand sessions will be available for you to enjoy from November 20 – December 30, 2020. This gives you a chance to learn new material while earning CPE credits all at your own pace. LIVE sessions give you the opportunity to possibly interact with the presenter and most, not all, will eventually be available as On-Demand. The Learnworlds platform was designed for teaching which is perfect for our needs. Presentations are broken into smaller sections with response questions and/or activities sandwiched in between. You’ll want to participate in the activities or response questions. The exchange of information is what teachers are all about. A presenter might give you the basics to learning a new technique, but other teachers can chime in with tips and tricks to make this technique even more relatable. Be sure to thank the presenter for offering their time and energy to providing their virtual lesson. Many of our presenters had to learn the technology before supplying the film clips for us to use. There are over 100 presentations to peruse. That in itself is a wonderful testimony to the generosity of our members especially during a time when teachers and administrators can barely squeeze another minute in the day to get done all that needs doing. For this, TAEA is forever grateful.
