This is a series of weekly informal 30-minute get-togethers/workshops/socials where members share tools and techniques they have found helpful during this time of "teaching from a distance."

• Tuesdays, 4:00-4:30 PM through Zoom
• Cost: Free
• Open to anyone. IMEA members and non-members 
• Not limited to a specific grade level or teaching area.
• Those who share don't have to be an expert on what they share.  
• Shares are short. 10-15 minutes with time to ask questions
• Anyone can share or suggest someone to invite to share
• Register

Would you like to share? We have openings! Contact Brandon Waring, Dan Black or Kevin Droe
