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

Great presentation. Quick Question: Is there a way for the Administrator to monitor conversations/meetings launched through Webex Teams? Maybe restrict who the students are able to communicate with? Thanks in advance!

This is a short video that was prepared for District 11 staff to help them use Webex.  It includes information about how to set attendee privileges, manage participants, share content, etc.

Cisco has some quick reference guides for Meetings for Teachers, Students and Parents.  I can't find a page that has all the links in one place but an individual search using "webex quick start guide meetings (teachers/students/parents) pdf got me to each of the following:

 

Teachers

https://www.webex.com/content/dam/webex/eopi/assets/education/EducationK12TeachersWebexMeetingsQSG.pdf

 

Students

https://www.webex.com/content/dam/webex/eopi/assets/education/EducationK12StudentWebexMeetingsQSG.pdf 

 

Parents

https://www.webex.com/content/dam/webex/eopi/assets/education/EducationK12ParentWebexMeetingsQSG.pdf 

 

 

Replace the word Meetings with Teams and you'll get similar resources for Teams.
