This week I have received a bunch of questions about the Practical Ed Tech courses that I am teaching in October. These are the most frequently asked questions and my answers to them.

1. Will it be recorded? I want to participate, but I can’t make it to every webinar.
Yes, all of live sessions will be recorded. Links to download the recordings will be emailed to you within 12 hours of the end of each webinar.

2. I don’t need graduate credit, can I still take the GAFE course or the Blogging course? 
Yes, the courses are open to folks who don’t need the graduate credits. Folks who take the course without the graduate credit option will receive a certificate of hours.


3. Is there a graduate credit option for Teaching History With Technology?
Unfortunately, at this time I do not have a graduate credit option for this course. You will receive a certificate of hours that you may be able to use toward re-certification/ license renewal (check with your local licensing requirements).

4. What is the discount code for subscribers to the Practical Ed Tech newsletter?
The discount code is “subscriber” (all lowercase, no quotation marks).

5. Is there Q&A?
Of course, ask any questions you like during the webinars.

6. What have other people said about the courses?
I’d take another course from you anytime. You are very knowledgeable, and your experience in the classroom “makes it real.” – Diana

Thank you for a great class…I learned a lot and am looking forward to putting it all together. Thanks so much!
– Tiffany

Thanks for a great program on blogs and social media. Lots of food for thought for me in my current role as a high school social studies teacher and my future role as a media specialist. I recommended your course to one of my colleagues during the first session, and she spoke so highly of it I had to join myself! – Jacquelyn

7. Why do you charge for the courses? 
Three primary reasons: 1. I have to pay for licensing of GoToTraining and for hosting of recordings. 2. I want to work with people who are committed to the course. I’ve found that when I offer free webinars many people sign up, but few show up.  3. This is part of how I make my living, but believe me I’m not getting rich from this.
