What's a Webinar?

Technology infrastructure is usually invisible. Over the past decade SFA School has put into place such features as broadband internet, wireless access points, and computers in every classroom.  We are in the process of putting a ceiling projector in each room as well.  After our regular Wednesday faculty meeting, several teachers participated in a "webinar" -- a live broadcast and "chat" with teachers from around the world, to learn how to use Google Docs with student projects.  As a newbie to the webinar format, I was thrilled by this opportunity to connect with fellow educators, and I was very pleased that SFA's technology teacher, Laurel Falkner, was able to facilitate this webinar on-site.
