We wanted to share a few free online trainings that have been made available.
From OBJECTIVE ED
ObjectiveEd has free distance learning tools for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year.
We’ve heard from over 1000 teachers, and we’ve been working non-stop to get everyone provisioned and ready to use our digital curriculum with their students. Many are already giving remote lessons using our tools. We have training videos and we’re offering webinars twice a day. Our distance learning system helps with O&M, Assistive Technology and Braille Literacy. And it’s so much for fun for the students: they will improve their skills in the games between your remote sessions.
