 * Webinars - FREE to AzTEA Members! **

**AzTEA is again able to offer great free PD webinars to its members!**

AzTEA has again purchased a "Season Pass" for all of the upcoming ISTE Technology in Practice webinars. That means the webinars are FREE ! AzTEA is hosting these webinars at various host locations around the state. The series of webinars, entitled "Technology in Practice", typically start at 1:00 pm. ISTE’s Technology in Practice Webinar series focuses on Web 2.0 and other collaborative online tools, as well as innovative tools and approaches. ISTE brings popular presenters, nationally recognized Ed Tech leaders, and enthusiastic technology-use innovators to you via these webinars. View the schedule at: www.iste.org/webinars. __[Note:__ Even though these are online webinars, AzTEA only has access to __one__ log-in per live webinar, thus you must go to the location to view it, or host it yourself.]

**Time** - The live webinars start at 2:00 pm MST between Nov. 7, 2010-March 13, 2011. **Descriptions** for all sessions are listed by date here as they are available. Occasionally ISTE will change the date or presentation so this wiki will be updated as we learn of changes.

Archives are available to AzTEA members who would like to host a face-to-face workshop!
Interested in one of the archives? AzTEA has agreed with ISTE that the archives would be shown as a 'AzTEA event.' Members may create this event at any time. This is a great opportunity for schools to provide their own professional development within their own building/district. If you would like to preview one of the archived webinars to decide whether it is will meet your needs, please send an email to pgeorge@mac.com to gain access to the webinar you would like to view.

Here's how to do it:

1. Look through the list of archives for this year. 2. Select a presentation you would like to preview for possible workshop hosting and contact pgeorge@mac.com to request link for recording. (Remember that you can't preview a recording until it is made available following the live presentation date). Be sure to send an email to request the recording link because you will not automatically receive it when you sign up on the wiki. 2. Determine the date, time, place and contact person for hosting a workshop using the archived recording and enter that information on this wikispace. 3. Advertise the viewing using the AzTEA listserv with advance notice of the viewing date. A suggested format is to hold the workshop for 1.5 hours allowing for 1 hour to view the recording together and a half hour for followup discussion and possibly hands-on time. (You may determine if you want others to RSVP to you and/or limit the number of attendees.) 4. Contact pgeorge@mac.com for the webinar recording link for both preview and workshop times, and also for PD certificates following the workshop. The following wikispace link includes a link to the Google online attendance form as well as a PDF certificate that can be downloaded and printed out to distribute at the workshop to all participants who complete the online attendance form. http://aztea.wikispaces.com/ISTE_Webinar_PD_Certificate 5. On the day of the ‘event,’ please take attendance using the online form and enjoy! If you are having participants use the attendance form for your workshop, you can access the spreadsheet with the results from the form submission here.

 * Possible guidelines to help you in preparing to host your own workshops with these hosted webinars (not required, just suggestions) **

**Offering Hosted Webinars Using ISTE's Technology In Practice Webinar Series (Tips from Cherie Stafford)** Review list of ISTE webinars compiled from the ISTE site. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqD8iTomj-YydFpSVzU0dlFtYjExV0w0S0RhMU5oMXc&hl=en_US#gid=0

If there are others involved in planning: Discuss which webinars might be of interest. Option: Choose a theme/themes or focus (like Science or Visual Literacy) Plan for 3 months at a time. (Can make tentative plans for additional months.) Schedule time on wiki to preview webinars to help you make your choices. Check that you have received archived link for webinar(s) you are previewing. (Note: You cannot get the link until the webinar has been presented live by ISTE. Peggy will email link to you.) Preview bi-weekly, weekly, monthly - whatever works best for you. Preview alone or with one or more other planners. Decide which one(s) will be used for which theme/month. Set date, time, and location for your "Hosted Webinar" Post description of webinar, time and date, and location for invitees to view, on your web site or in newsletter or in email. Include half hour following the webinar to discuss, ask questions, extend what was learned, share ideas for using, provide hands-on time to explore if computers are available, etc. Note: Since technology can often bring unforeseen issues, it's a good idea to try playing the recording you plan to use in your workshop on the computer and in the location where the workshop will be held. You don't want everyone to arrive ready to begin and discover that the site is blocked or that something needs to be downloaded on a district computer where downloading may be prohibited. These webinars are provided on Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro.
