Transform your classroom instruction with our upcoming online course, "Effective Video Production," which includes a GoPro Hero 3+ camera! This class is designed for teachers who want to engage their students in a dynamic new way, learn more about what to do with their current video footage, and challenge themselves to take their lessons to the next level.
Video can be a highly effective tool in delivering meaningful content in the classroom. Both teachers and students can utilize video in a variety of productive ways to support classroom learning.
'Effective Video Production' e
xamines the ways in which video content can effectively deliver instruction to the classroom. Through shooting original content, editing material, and experiencing production, teachers will investigate ways to deliver intended messages in multiple content areas. Connects with the ISTE standards for student learning and creativity.

In Case You Missed It: New University Partnership with Wilson College Begins this Fall!
|
Eduspire is pleased to announce its new partnership with Wilson College, a Pennsylvania-based university located in Chambersburg, PA. Wilson College offers undergraduate, graduate, and adult degree programs, including a Masters in Education degree.
Beginning this fall, Wilson College is offering Eduspire courses as graduate-level courses. Registration will continue through Eduspire and is now open for many online fall courses. Note that Wilson courses have new course numbers and often new, shorter names, but the content is largely similar to prior courses.
If you aren't sure if you've already taken a course, feel free to use the contact form to check with us.
