Binge on FREE #DitchSummit video presentations in December
What if you had access to a sort of Netflix for really good online professional development?
You know, not boring videos of stuff that you’ll never use, but practical ideas. Inspiration. Plug and play activities you can use in class tomorrow. And from speakers you KNOW you’ll love to listen to. free online teacher training courses with certificate
Well, that Netflix of professional development exists, and it’s only available December 13th through January 7th!
Oh and it’s completely FREE! Watch the videos whenever you want over the window of the summit, and since it is virtual…you can make it PAJAMA PD!
I’m Matt Miller, Ditch That Textbook author/blogger/speaker, 10+ year classroom teacher, and co-author of Ditch That Homework with Alice Keeler.
Free, amazing professional development
I put on a free online conference for teachers each year called the Ditch That Textbook Digital Summit. Here are the details:
- This year, it runs from December 13, 2020, through January 7, 2022, with a NEW presentation each day for the first nine days.
- Video presentations are about 45 minutes each.
- I hand-pick my favorite presenters on a diverse set of topics.
- They’re on-demand, so you can watch when you want (as many times as you want).
- You can get a certificate of completion for FREE professional development hours (as long as your school or district accepts them).
- This year, we’ll have more than 80 videos you can watch on a wide variety of topics.
- If you’re a fan of Alice Keeler and all things Google (and I know you are!), you’re going to love several of the videos available in this year’s summit.
