Join us each month for free professional development sessions created by teachers for teachers.
The Teacher Toolbox, which is hosted by Full Sail course directors from the Instructional Design & Technology master's program, is about different resources and tips teachers can use toward professional development. Sessions cover a wide range of topics, such as the use of artificial intelligence in education, tips for self-care during the busiest times of the school year, and how to make effective classroom videos.
The series is hosted on Zoom one Wednesday a month and it is also accessible on demand after each session has concluded.
