How it Works
On Demand eSeminars
eSeminars are typically Live and Interactive Webinars that have been recorded and archived, and in some cases are presentations recorded directly for On Demand purposes. Participants view the powerpoint and often a webcam of the speaker through their computer as well as audio streaming from their computer speakers. Users are given a link where they register by selecting their own password and are immediately sent a link via email upon registering that includes the link to login and view the presentation. When participants purchase an On Demand eSeminar, they are entitled to unlimited access, 24/7, for a specific amount of time (often an entire school year). Users you may view it when they choose, from any location, and as many times as they wish. Sessions can be stopped and started up again in the place where left off. Users are required at various stages of each presentation to answer multiple choice questions that ensure that the participant is engaged in the presentation in order to award credit. At the completion of the program, the user submits a request for completion and receives verification that they have completed the program. All that is required is a high speed internet connection, Adobe Flash player, and speakers connected to your computer.

Embedding 21st Century Tools in Your Educational Community
with Stephen Edwards This webcast series will teach the participant how to use 21st Century tools and where to effectively integrate them into the learning environment. They will learn how to incorporate these tools (e.g.: computers, social networking, podcasting, video, WIKI, and digital storyboards) into their curriculum. This integration of technology across the curriculum will enable students to harness technology to perform learning skills. Participants will assess their gaps and then develop plans of action for incorporating an interdependence of hardware, software, infrastructure, pedagogy, learning skills, and teacher training in their educational community.

Formative Assessment
from Measured Progress Simply put, formative assessment is part of the day-to-day instructional process. It happens during instruction, not after. As practice, formative assessment gives both teachers and students feedback to help clarify misconceptions and refine skills during the learning process. Formative assessment involves classroom instructional strategies that may already be part of your culture of good teaching. The key to effective formative assessment practice is getting teachers to act upon the information they gather during student learning. We guide you through the process of putting formative assessment data to work.

Differentiated Instruction in Mixed Ability Classrooms - Elementary Schools
with Cindy Strickland In some ways, differentiation of instruction may seem to be the newest educational fad. Yet good teachers have always recognized that "one size fits all" instruction does not serve students well. Particularly in today’s world, where the backgrounds of our students are so diverse and their needs seemingly so numerous, teachers must find ways to consistently reach more kids more often. We can increase the likelihood of this happening by recognizing and responding to our students’ varied readiness levels for new learning, honoring and celebrating their diverse interests, and understanding their unique preferences for how they learn new information and practice new skills. A daunting task? Surely. An impossible one? Most definitely not. Come join 25-year teaching veteran and differentiation expert Cindy Strickland for a motivating (yet sensible!) introduction to differentiation of instruction.
