What do I need to bring to the sessions?
Quia is an awesome tool to help you build upon the great learning opportunities you are already providing for our students so come eager to learn. Please bring your school-issued laptop and charger. The room will be set up so that everyone will have access to power to charge their laptops. Please bring a notebook and a writing utensil, if you would like to take notes during the sessions.
What's in it for you?
Far too often, participants leave training sessions, overwhelmed with information with little to no workable product. The overall goal of each of these sessions, is that participants not only acquire the information presented but that they also leave with a work product they can immediately integrate into their upcoming lesson (s). Each session, time will be provided for participants to work in small group or individually (if they chose) to create each of the activities/quizzes presented in the lesson based upon their chosen content focus.
