About the Webinar
As experts in STEM education, we are committed to finding solutions to help alleviate the pressure and stress that schools, colleges and universities are facing around the globe. In this pre-recorded professional development webinar, our team of STEM teachers have come together to share with you their tips, tricks and best practices to make the most of at home-learning.
Now that you’ve received your district’s expectations for setting up online learning, how can you establish and maintain momentum with online engagement? Not all families have the means for instant online communication. During the webinar recording our STEM teachers will examine some tools and strategies for communication that include both online and offline options and discuss how student choice impacts participation and motivation. They’ll also look at a variety of ways to increase engagement and deepen your students’ sense of community.
