OTIS for educators is professional development through online video sessions that are relevant and convenient. It stands for Online Technology and Instructional Sessions, but it’s also the name of our new mascot. Bringing technology into the classroom is nothing short of an adventure, and we created OTIS so you could have access to the professional learning you need every step of the way. Our courses have a strong focus on educational technology and STEAM, but you’ll also find lots of great sessions on topics like social-emotional learning, ENL/ELL, literacy, civics, leadership, and more.
Technology Integration
Leveraging educational technology in the classroom isn’t as simple as having the latest and greatest products – it’s about effectively integrating that technology in a way that engages, supports, and inspires all learners.
Project-Based Learning
Engage students with hands-on and student-led learning experiences that give them the opportunity to build and practice future-ready skills. On OTIS for educators, you’ll find countless lessons, activities, and projects that you can take back to the classroom.
Teacher Development
Teachers matter just as much as the students they teach. Leverage OTIS to get comfortable with new technologies, discover inspiring ways to incorporate technology into instruction, stay current with your own training, and become your most effective self.
