Metro ECSU invites you to attend the simulcast hybrid of Solution Tree's authorspeak2011. This event brings many of the leading educational experts from around the country together to share their different perspectives on 21st century learning. Facilitated discussions will enable all of our local experts--you--to share different perspectives as well.
Hear Daniel Pink's opening keynote LIVE as well as 10 other expert voices as they discuss vital topics in education. View facilitated dialogue and group activities to supplement the live video stream. This sharing of ideas via simulcast is meant to involve you in the conversations without actually being there--conversations that are important to and could help transform education! We understand that travel restrictions (and tight budgets) prevent many educators from attending this event in person, so Metro ECSU is bringing the simulcast of authorspeak2011 to you. Participants may attend either one or both days of this event. |

This information session will explain what SWIS is and how it is used, demonstrate SWIS and provide specific information on what readiness steps schools need to meet prior to obtaining a license to use SWIS. This training is provided by three experienced SWIS Facilitators.
This session is not an indepth training for SWIS users.

Schools may bring more than one person but this is not a team event. |
