The Fun May Be Almost Over- But the Learning Continues |
|
All breakout sessions have been recorded, and the recordings for this conference will be available 30 days after the conference. To access the breakout session recordings you will go through the event platform like you are accessing a live session. Here you will be able to watch the session, pause anytime you would like, rewind to catch something you may have missed and to take any detailed notes that you would like. Due to contractual agreements, the general sessions will not be recorded.
Additionally, registration for the Annual Convention will reopen today. Any school board members or superintendents who did not attend the live convention can register and be given access to the platform and recordings for the remaining duration of the window that the platform will be open. To do so, please contact your division clerk and request registration to be completed.
