Afternoons with AzTEA Fall Schedule
We will take November and December off to enjoy the holidays!
Check out our past episodes!
As you may know, Afternoons with AzTEA isn't like every other webinar on edtech topics - it's a time of conversation, laughter, light and shared conversation. We show up with our questions and concerns and we leave with a renewed sense of optimism, connection and a pocket full of ideas to bring back to our work and lives. Each month, we are lucky enough to have experts from across education talk with each other and share with us their experiences and ideas. Behind the scenes, we have a list of guiding questions that are defined before we meet but from there, we have zero clue where the conversation will take us, we just know it will be great!
