Virtual Conferences

Have time for some conferences?

• 2020 Share My Lesson Virtual Conference – is a free virtual conference from March 24-26, with over over 30 webinars focusing on instructional strategies across the curriculum, social-emotional learning, activism, STEM, and trauma-informed practices. This is a fantastic conference. I attend every year. The sessions and presenters from professional organizations are top notch!

• CUE Spring Conference – Computer-Using Educators (CUE) is a California-based non-profit that offers a premiere educational technology conference each spring. This year, because of coronavirus, they are going virtual offering sessions from March 19 through April 5. More information is coming. I believe there will be a small fee to access it.

• 13th Annual Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education – Although it is fairly old in terms of virtual reality, Second Life is still one of the best ones out there. “The VWBPE Conference is a completely virtual and free conference that is conducted using simulated environments. Participants experience the conference through a virtual reality type setting including conference rooms, theatres, exposition halls, meeting spaces, and other types of venues similar to a brick and mortar type conference.” This year’s conference is from March 26-28.
