ONLINE eWORKSHOPS & TRAINING OPTIONS





This page will share with you the professional learning opportunities from TransformEd Consulting Services, that you can customize to fit your needs online!  All of the learning that usually takes place in The TransformEd Creative Studio and Learning Centre or Face-to-Face, can also occur virtually using the Google Hangouts platform!  I have been using Google Hangouts with the Kindergarten Course that I teach at York University and have found it to be so user friendly.  It allows participants to join a video chat and see the speaker (myself - or anyone who might be in the F2F group) and the powerpoint slides on your screen, hear the conversation, and participate within the chat pod by typing or turning on your camera/speaker to talk during the session.  

The best part is that you can access all of the TransformEd Educational Services from the comfort of your own home/school!!!

Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, as I would be happy to setup a time to talk! 

Here are the packages you can download for all of the details:
