A note about fees for webinars:
Whenever I advertise a Practical Ed Tech webinar I am asked why they aren’t free. There are two reasons. One, hosting professional development events is one of the ways that I am able to keep the lights on at Free Technology for Teachers. Two, while all of the tools featured in my webinars are free to use, my time for teaching about them is not free.
