NSTA Web Seminars are 90-minute, live professional development experiences that use online learning technologies to allow participants to interact with nationally acclaimed experts, NSTA Press authors, and scientists, engineers, and education specialists from NSTA government partners.

Educators use online tools that allow them to mark-up and annotate presenter’s slides or share desktop applications in addition to engaging in chat with others online and answering quizzes and poll questions. Seminars may be archived and available for viewing after the live event has occurred.

These seminars are free and open to the public. Please visit the NSTA website for semiar and registration details: http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/webseminars.aspx
