As Brainpop puts it,”PD in your PJs!”.

A webinar is an on-line seminar that you can take from the comfort of your own home or where ever you want. Many websites run webinars on a variety of topics. Some are free and some do cost money. They have a scheduled time, but many webinars are archived so you can watch them whenever you want. During a webinar, a presenter demonstrates the topic being covered and participants can chat and ask questions as the webinar is occurring.

I “attended” one last week on Brainpop and it was great. In their “Brainpop Educators” section, there are sessions that go live every Wednesday afternoon.Like many of you, Wednesdays are hard so I went to the archives and watched the webinar on Sunday instead. I also watched football as well, so it was one of the best PD sessions I could have.

As a note, you may have to download certain programs to run the webinars on you computer. Different sites use different software. As long as it is from a well-known site, the software is safe and easy to install. Every Wednesday I will be offering suggestions for webinars on topics I think would interest you.

Today’s Brainpop webinar introduces us to all the new features of Brainpop available this year. You do need to sign up, but the Brainpop sessions are free. I have had a preview and there is a lot to see. I hope you get a chance to check it out!
