Super Six Survival Sites for Teaching and Learning

Rescheduled for May 25, 2023  12:30 PM

This session will share the Top 6 Survival Sites that have been “tested and approved” by educators across the LARAEC Consortium to add to your toolkit. The session will include a deep dive into these top sites that will help take your teaching and your students’ learning to the next level. During this session educators will have the chance to see a brief overview for all six sites that have been identified as great tools. Attendees will then have the opportunity to choose the tool they would like to explore on a deeper level and utilize one of them for a lesson, activity, or assignment.

Presenter: Devon Werble (LACCD), Barry Bakin (LAUSD),  and the LARAEC Remote Learning Action Planning Team
