Attendees can expect a wide variety of workshops that cover a variety of topics. One way to keep workshops relevant is to frame them in terms of teaching and learning rather than edtech tools.
For example, a workshop on using Flipgrid might be called "Designing Energizing Discussion Opportunities with Flipgrid." This approach keeps the focus on teaching and learning and makes it clear to faculty why the tool is valuable.

5. EdTech webinars
For teachers, online training is a necessity and webinars are one of the most convenient ways to learn. But not every webinar is created equal. Here are a few tips to help you find the best ones for you:
Webinars should be between 30 and 40 minutes long to ensure that teachers do not miss out on valuable information due to time constraints. The more engaging a webinar is, the better. This improves constructive discussions in the chat sections and enhances participants’ understanding of the topic.
Attending edTech conferences also helps you build your network by meeting industry professionals. Many events offer networking opportunities like company reverse pitches and one-on-one speed date networking. These are great for networking with recruiters and getting a job in the field.
