This Week’s Upcoming Activities
Wednesday, November 19, 12:00 – 1:00 pm | Edpuzzle Disco Party! Session 3: Disco Inferno – Shine & Share | Super Manny Curiel, Edpuzzle and Yecsenia Castro, OTAN Subject Matter Expert | The spotlight is ON YOU, Yaaas! This final session is all about sharing your shine. Bring your Edpuzzle lessons to the disco floor, show off your creativity, and cheer each other on. This is your time to shine bright, learn from your fellow educators. Think of it as an educator talent show where everyone wins and the confetti never stops...because the best parties (and learning) happen together. #BetterTogether
Coming soon!
