Using real examples and the latest data from Gaggle during last school year, we’ll discuss steps school leaders can take to keep students safe regardless of where they’re learning.

In this session, you will discover how virtual reality (VR) is an important and effective educational tool. Maggie and Wendy will demonstrate how the use of VR can help teachers learn to recognize and mitigate implicit bias in their classroom interactions in a life-like and “failure-safe” environment.“Virtual reality learners completed training 4 times faster than classroom training and were 275% more confident to apply skills learned after training.”

Join Shelley Cameron from Copernicus as she discusses how device storage and deployment could change for the upcoming school year. Topics include:
Managing devices with smaller class sizes, Maintaining social distancing guidelines, Deploying devices to homes or for “grab-and-go” distribution, How schools have been leveraging Tech Tubs in different ways over the past few months, and Other solutions for cleaning or disinfecting. Attendees will be entered to win a Tech Tub for either Chromebook or iPad charging and storage.

This session will highlight how coaches can adjust to the new normal and maintain the success of their coaching strategies during a time of hybrid or remote learning. Learn how to alter your schedule, coaching programs, and professional development to better suit the world of distance learning.

It’s never too early to start learning the fundamentals of computer science. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to develop a foundation for teaching computer science at home, or in a socially distanced classroom in order to prepare young learners for future skills. Plus, we’ll highlight Sphero’s very own Computer Science Foundations curriculum, which is a great way to accelerate CS in any setting to prepare students for a more in-depth course. You’ll walk away with tools to effectively start computer science in your classroom no matter how the start of the year looks.
