On Monday at 12:00pm, Melinda Holt will present Chromebooks for Adult Education. This introductory workshop will help teachers and support staff identify Chromebook features such as the webcam, microphone, and keyboard shortcuts.

On Tuesday at 2:00pm, Jeff Goumas and Penny Pearson will present Building an EdTech Strategy Toolkit (BEST) - Free Online Course.
