What We Do Throughout The Year!

Twitter Chats

Our monthly Twitter chats are held on the last Tuesday of every month at both 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern. We use #ETCoaches.

It is the same set of questions both times, but we repeat the chat to accommodate schedules and time zones. Need a reminder? go to remind.com/join/etcoaches.

Book Studies

We hold one-two book studies per year. We discuss the books on Twitter using a "slow chat" method, where only one question is posted per day, and you can respond at any time throughout the day to that question. Again, we use #ETCoaches to keep the conversations together. For information about the next book study, be sure you are signed up in the official PLN area.

Playground Webinar Series

After last year's conference, we started a new Playground Webinar Series, featuring a conference playground presentation from the ISTE Conference in June each month throughout the school year. Our hope is to extend the learning and connections beyond the conference and to connect those who cannot attend the conference in person, to coaches presentations. We will continue the Webinar Series this school year, after selecting Playground presentations from this year's Playground. To register go to: http://bit.ly/etcwebinars.

Google for Education Certified Trainer Relationship

The Edtech Coaches leadership team will be working with the team at Google for Education to provide you with resources and learning opportunities that will be beneficial to you as a current or aspiring tech coach in becoming a Google Certified Trainer! Download a copy of the Certified Trainer program handout here.

Local Conference Meetup Kits

In an effort to bring more face to face interactions between ISTE ETC members, we put together a local meetup kit, so you can apply to present at your local/state edtech conferences. Before you apply for the meetup toolkit, make sure someone else hasn't already applied to present at your conference here: https://awesome-table.com/-KQN4mIEqYNpYx8dwnf4/view.

To apply for the toolkit, fill out this form: bit.ly/etcmeetupapplication.

ISTE Standards Refresh Events

As ISTE refreshes their standards, we typically host events to collect your input to shape the new standards.
