 We are excited to offer a new workshop series in March and April! Many of you joined us for the sessions earlier this year and suggested topics you’d like to see covered. We heard you, and we’ve included some of those requests in this new series.  **Lesson Planning Series** The first two workshops focus on how VoiceThread can enhance your current classes. **“Basics” Series** The second series is in four parts and will cover all the basics of how to use VoiceThread, from just getting started to working in secure Groups to integrating with your learning management system. The first session is open to all VoiceThreaders, and the rest will be for people who have a VoiceThread license. See a full description of each session at the registration link below.  ** About the Workshops ** These workshops are completely free. Each session is led by George Haines, an Instructional Designer and former educator. George will share his expertise to help you learn how to get the most from VoiceThread.
