Just a reminder about the Shoreline Teaching & Learning Conference on Friday, April 28! We’ve updated the agenda a little so please have a look at the agenda here! Please also notice that one of the sessions includes a speaker from UMT on Accessibility to dovetail with Accessibility Week.

We have the lunch orders in, but if you still want to come for lunch, please bring a brownbag and join us for the rest of the conference. We understand if you can only come for one or two hours of the conference, we would still love to share with our very busy colleagues.

And if you want to continue with all the great opportunities for professional learning, consider joining SeLC (Shoreline eLearning Community) for their monthly meeting in 4214 after lunch.
