• Complete assignments
• Reflect on personal implementation
• Revise practices based on student feedback and your implementation experience

Course Modules include:

• History & Concepts

Participants will receive a free SnagIt license.

Reactions from participants..."focus on the practice and not the tool made all of the content relevant and useful", "support of the instructors was great", "I'm able to market myself as able to teach both avenues [face-to-face & blended]."
