Free PD – Free SCECH
The 4T conference will be held this May 20th through May 22nd. This is a virtual conference.
There is zero cost for K-16 educators to register for the conference (or to receive archives of the webinars). There is also no cost for K-12 educators to earn up to 19 SCECHs from the State of Michigan (the 4T will pay for you!). If teachers would like an official attendance certificate (usually teachers outside of Michigan are interested in this option), there is a small cost, please see the link here.
I’ve presented for and attended this conference in the past. This can be a great way to learn something new and receive some SCECHs from the State of Michigan.
Head over the 4T web site for more information and to register.

Dearborn Moodle Moot 2017
This year, Dearborn will be hosting two Dearborn Moodle Moots. The Dearborn Moodle Moots focus on actual implementation for YOUR classroom. The first day is instructional. Lots of choice, models and tools are shared. The second day is all about implementation – YOU will be creating and/or installing resources into YOUR course. There will be experts on hand to assist.
If you are interested in learning more about iLearn, consider signing up. You can find more information at our Moodle Moot site. Watch your email for a discount code.
See the Dearborn Moodle Moot page for more information or to register.
4T Conference (Free PD)
This is a great learning opportunity for educators along with the option of getting between 3-19 SCECHs for free.
About the 4T Conference
The 4T Virtual Conference began as a grassroots effort in 2011 as an opportunity for educators from across the globe to connect, network, and learn from each other about issues in technology education. The 4T conference is unique from other virtual conferences because all the lead presenters (all K-12 teachers) go through 15 hours of professional development training on how to instructionally design an interactive and engaging virtual classroom (eg…webinar)! We use a the Triple E Framework as our conceptual frame and measurement of quality of technology integration. ALL of our sessions will be interactive, engaging and informative.
