About This Event

Innovation shouldn’t come with a high price tag. In this edWebinar, the presenters will explore how to ignite student creativity and problem-solving skills using powerful, free, and low-cost technology tools. They will dive into practical strategies for integrating free and low-cost technologies into your classroom to support skill building and creativity.

 

Attendees will leave with a toolkit of free and low-cost resources to boost student engagement, examples of student-led projects that tackle global challenges using simple tools, and actionable steps to participate in the Ciena Solutions Challenge, where students can showcase their big ideas and apply for sustainability awards.

 

This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
