Webinar Series: Come together to learn together–Transition to remote instruction with D2L

 

Webinar 1: Guidelines from Gwinnett—Moving from blended to online learning

 

Join this webinar to learn strategies on how to prepare teachers, students, parents, and administrations for the switch from blended to fully online learning. Two years ago, the largest K-12 school district in Georgia—Gwinnett County Public Schools—implemented their first Digital Learning Day when schools closed due to inclement weather. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, Gwinnett County Public Schools will now utilize extended Digital Learning Days to provide continuity of instruction for over 180,000 students.

 

D2L Customer Presenter: Tricia Kennedy is the executive director for eCLASS Transformation for Gwinnett County Public Schools.

 

Date: Wednesday 3/25 from 2PM – 3PM EST

D2L Customer Presenter: Professor Tim Pinnow, acting teacher and director of distance education at Colorado Mesa University.

 

Date: Friday 3/27 from 1PM – 2PM EST
