In

How do the selected SREB and iNACOL standards address student
engagement? What does this mean for online educators?

Clarity: How can digital tools be the "solution" for increased student engagement in online learning environments?
-
Impact:
How do digital tools such as Screencast-O-Matic, Diigo, and Voki engage
students? (a brief overview of each tool will provided)
-
Opportunity: What opportunity is there to encourage educators in using these or similar tools when teaching online?

Growing a Successful International Baccalaureate Online Program
Date: Tuesday, November 13
Time: 3:00-4:00 PM ET
Presenters: Kirsten Peterson, EdTech Leaders Online and John Willoughby, Pamoja Education
This
webinar will showcase online courses designed to prepare a global
collection of online teachers, site-based coordinators, and students to
run a successful online International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Over
the past two years, EdTech Leaders Online (ETLO) and Pamoja Education
have collaborated to grow the online IB program through a collection of
targeted professional development and orientation courses that focus on
teacher learning communities and student engagement. Come join a dynamic
discussion with ETLO and Pamoja Education leaders about how a
fast-paced needs-driven online program influenced program design and
facilitation. In addition to looking at example courses for IB teachers
and students, we’ll have a question and answer session built around some
of the more provocative “what would you do” scenarios faced by Pamoja
Education and ELTO throughout the program design and facilitation.
