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.

WebCasts will be held each Thursday 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.

Guidance and support regarding how to access these opportunities is available at the bottom of this page.
