We know that you want to be well-equipped for the classroom, but that you are also busy. Our new series, 10 Minute Tips, provides short, live webinars that will introduce a classroom technique, technology tool, or shortcut to assist you in your classes.

We encourage you to join the live webinar so that you can ask follow-up questions directly, but if you can't make it, visit our 10 Minute Tip playlist to view recordings of past sessions.
