Webcasts
In addition to traditional face-to-face gatherings, the MLTI staff will also be using web-based technologies to communicate and collaborate with educators interested in engaging in conversation around teaching and learning with technology. These WebCast events will provide an opportunity to participate interactively in a live virtual environment, all right from the comfort of your own computer desktop.
—————————————-
Weekly Thursday Webinars: Offered at both 3:15 pm and 7:15 pm and will be approximately an hour long. Topics will be updated, as well as links to full descriptions, for each WebCast listed below about 2 weeks prior to the event date.
Principal Webinars: These webinars will be offered again this year on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 4:00pm (Schedule may vary due to holidays and school vacations)
Arts Assessment Initiative Webinars: The MLTI and Department of Education will be hosting 5 webinars throughout the 2011-2012 school year on the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative and how it impacts teaching and learning in our schools. Please join visual art educator Catherine Ring and music educator Rob Westerberg, and guests for the webinar series. You can read more about these webinars on the Arts Assessment Initiative website.
