Danielle and Sari are joined by Mark Ophaug, Professional Development Specialist at Curriculum Associates. Mark discusses how he’s supporting educators virtually during this time, and best practices for remote learning for adults. From getting a platform, to learning how to get comfortable with technology, Mark talks about best practices for learning during this time. Now, more than ever, there is an opportunity to get your feet wet with new technology and learn something new. We also hope this episode is helpful for leaders who are supporting teachers.
