The traditional role of the teacher is evolving as new educational tools emerge. Digital teachers engage students and spur collaboration through interactive technologies. They guide students – acting as learning coaches – and encourage them to explore and make their own discoveries. They may instruct in a brick and mortar classroom or online – or a combination of both.

Join us in this no cost webinar as we explore this shift in the classroom dynamic. We’ll discuss the best practices of teachers, school districts and higher education institutions that are embracing technology to improve student learning. As adequate training for teachers is critical to the success of any technological implementation, we will also highlight winning professional development strategies.
