Join other educators new to the profession who are looking to build community while building their skills. Each Sharpen Your Skills event will provide a new teacher with hands-on, easily applicable strategies to support you in your first few years in the classroom.

Pixels to Paper with Tony Vincent
Discover effective visual design techniques that you can apply to a variety of printable creations in Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Keynote. These creations are not ordinary printouts! Learn to make tear-off sheets, table toppers, bookmarks, multipage posters, door hangers, brochures, dice, scratch cards, and foldable mini-books. These kinds of products can be a great for teachers to package instructional materials and to connect online learning with the physical learning environment. Furthermore, the printable examples we explore can be made by students. There are lots of possibilities to explore when we turn our digital designs into tangible products. 

Participants will build community while:

• Focusing on applicable strategies
• Discuss best practices for a classroom community
• Reflecting on current practice
