Are you an online teacher? Do you do awesome stuff? Do you want to talk to other online teachers to see what awesome stuff they do? Let’s talk about student engagement!  This is a chance for online teachers to share what works and what doesn’t around student engagement in their online classroom.   In this workshop we will discuss our best practices around student communication, teacher presence, online tools, and adding opportunities for collaboration and cooperation. We will collect our results and post them online for future reference. Come share your ideas with the online learning community!
