I’m pleased to be working with Educational Research Newsletter again this month to put on a webinar for educators with iPads. While this isn’t a free event, the advantage is that you can have an entire team of administrators and/or teachers participate under one registration.

How to Increase Your Productivity Using the iPad
WHEN: Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 1-2:30 p.m. Eastern Time

SNAPSHOT: Every day you wonder how you could possibly do your job without email, search engines, your laptop, smartphone and many other technology tools. The next frontier in your quest for greater effectiveness is the iPad, rapidly becoming the new standard for mobile productivity.

Most educators are not sitting at their computers in their offices all day. They are on the move, interacting with administrators, educators students, parents and other professionals. A desktop and even a laptop cannot keep up with the pace you typically set. Many educators have found that the iPad is ideally suited to helping them manage the complexity of their work, expanding the possibilities and opportunities for improving their performance beyond those offered by paper- and desktop-based tools alone.

I’m pleased to work with Educational Research Newsletter to present a 2-hour webinar on December 13:

The High-performance Administrator: How to Better Manage Time, Workflow & Communication to Maximize Your Impact on Student Learning

WHEN: Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 1-3 p.m. Eastern Time

SNAPSHOT: School leaders are second only to teachers in their impact on student learning, so increasing the productivity of administrators is one of the best investments we can make to improve our schools.

Administrators are overburdened with tasks, meetings, emails, and countless other responsibilities that can distract them from their true mission of maximizing student learning. High-leverage strategies for managing this workload can help reduce stress, prevent burnout, and increase administrator effectiveness.

Cost: $197 (purchase orders are OK!) Includes CD-ROM and 30-day access to an online recording of the webinar emailed to you the next day.
