Professional Development Seminars

Many school inservice days are spent training teachers how to use one technology or another. We are excited to offer your staff the opportunity to attend eInstruction professional development that is more than just product training; it is true pedagogical professional development.

This program focuses on the instructional impact behind these technologies in the classroom. Therefore, the primary focus is on implication of the technologies, not just how to use the technologies themselves. These seminars will put more emphasis on "WHY to click" than "WHERE to click"?
