Be Ready for Mother Nature with VoiceThread
December 11 at 7:00pm ET – Register here

Have you already missed class time because of the weather? There will always be weather events and snow days that cause closures, but you don’t have to lose a full day of instruction any longer. VoiceThread lets you be there even when you’re not. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create asynchronous conversations around course content so students can continue to learn and grow even when schools are closed.
