"We will never be able to afford that kind of technology."
"Who's going to learn to run this technology?"
"How do we get started?"
"People need to get into the same room together for them to really understand this info."
"We can just get on the phone and send the PPT around."
"Once they get my presentation in a webcast, I'll be replaced."
"Right now we have to find new ways to bring in revenue from outside the district."
Sound familiar? Memphis City Schools thought so. But that didn't stop them from getting the buy-in to start doing webcasts, webinars and on-demand online video. In just 4 years, they've recorded over 500 videos for their district alone. And it all revolved around three simple letters- ROI.
Find out why the 23rd largest K-12 school system in the US is using technology that has traditionally been in the hands of corporate America and higher ed institutions, and learn how you can use webinars to drive professional development, communication and instruction for your school district.
Our presenters will be on a mission to convince you:
- There are ways to get the green light to buy high-quality technology right now
- Teachers can absolutely run this technology, and it doesn't require a huge infrastructure of people, time or money to maintain
- Creating your own webcasts and webinars is more effective than the way you are doing professional development and district communications right now
- The same tools you use for your continuing education should be good enough for our district's students and teachers
- While it is tempting to think you could do this on your own with a video camera, there are important keys to success you'll miss
- Accountability and flexibility - there is an ROI in this mix!
