Educational Technology Sharing through Alumni Online Meetings

In the new fast-paced, fun format Ed Tech Share and Alumni Online Meetings are open to general OTAN membership with the purpose to identify educational technology resources and practices as presented by OTAN trainers, as well as participants in OTAC (Online Teaching Academy) and TIMAC (Technology Integration Mentor Academy). The individual shares will be divided into units of 10 minutes. Some examples include: a favorite Web site for ESL, math or reading, an online or computer tool that helps your teaching, a favorite mobile app, or an innovative way to use technology in education.
