Webex for Education: Collaboration in and out of the classroom
Live - Tuesday, August 4, 2020, at 10am PDT/ 1pm EDT / 7pm Paris
Over the years, education has evolved from using chalkboards and projectors to a more technology-centric approach – with many schools utilizing smartboards, launching BYOD initiatives, or even providing individual laptops or tablets. In 2020, there is an accelerated need for technology and digital learning platforms, in both the physical and virtual classroom.
Join our esteemed panel of educators to hear how they use Webex collaboration to extend access, emphasize equity, and raise the quality of education for all of their students. Learn from their experiences, and hear their plans for the upcoming school year.
Agenda
- Adopting Webex in an education setting
- Best practices for professors/teachers to engage students
- Features to help educators get the most out of Webex
- Live discussion about the future of education led by former educator Laura Hamill
