Jeff’s enthusiastic support for his teaching colleagues does not end with just the TeacherCast website, however. Jeff has recently added TeacherCast University, an educational consulting service for teachers who are looking to expand their teaching practice with a more hands-on approach. Jeff is a frequent workshop presenter at Edcamps, TeachMeets and other educational conferences with the workshop topics ranging from technology integration to learning about Web 2.0 tools. Virtual workshops are also available for those looking for a more cost-efficient way of benefiting from Jeff’s expertise. The goal for each workshop is to provide engaging and relevant material whereby each attending colleague leaves with something new to add to their teaching methodology. TeacherCast University provides additional professional development opportunities as well such as conference keynote presentations and technology integration consults. For those teachers who are unable to attend a TeacherCast University workshop, Jeff also shares his expertise through highly engaging webinars. Below is the first TeacherCast webinar on Sandvox, an easy to use website creation tool for Mac.
