Engage 2021 is tomorrow, February 4. Join me!
Join me and other education leaders at the upcoming online conference Engage 2021 sponsored by Kognity. Many of your favorite speakers including George Couros, Eric Sheninger, Monica Burns, and David Geurin, and more will be sharing their expert tips with you. I’ll be sharing my 50+ ways to use technology in the classroom updated with new tools and tips for the challenges of teaching in 2021. In this post, I’ll share three reasons you’ll want to sign up now and how to register.
1. Engage 2021 Has Exciting Speakers on Problems You Need to Solve Now
As you check out the schedule and topics, remember that the website is in GMT +1 time (That is 6 hours time difference for me here in the US Eastern Time Zone. So my keynote of 50+ Ways to Use Technology in Your Classroom shows at 4 pm on their schedule and is at 10 am in EST on February 4 — but there are recordings!)
This global event will have educators and speakers from around the world sharing up to date best practices. The live conference is a mix of interactive and hands-on workshops, keynote sessions, and panel discussions. If you’re looking for excellent PD, this is the conference.
