Fall 2014 Virtual Sessions
Just-in-time Training Using Adobe Connect Pro
Virtual classroom sessions have been scheduled as outlined in the chart below. When you go to the Virtual Classroom URL, provided in the next section on this page, you will login and find yourself in a virtual classroom. You will see the other participant names and be able to use the chat area to chat with them and ask questions. The instructors will be able to present to you from their desktop computers, share their screens, and show you lots of great websites, or how to do the "things."
To receive the SCECHs, you will need to attend at least two of the webinars "live" (online at the same time as the facilitators). Our hope is that you join us for all of the sessions but we know other commitments may interfere. We will record all of the webinar sessions so you can view any that you miss. You are expected to "attend or watch" all of them if you are taking this course for SCECHs.
Links to the recorded webinar videos will be posted on the "Virtual Sessions Schedule" below. Note: Links are NOT available prior to the scheduled date for the session.
Please check your browser to make sure your computer can connect to the virtual classroom sessions successfully. A slow or dial-up connection will not work. It is important to visit the Adobe Connection Test site to see if your computer has the plug-ins and other resources needed to participate in the virtual sessions.
