Implementing EdTech into your teaching

Weekly Quercus Updates (April 2, 2020)
This week: Extend your course dates, how to sync Quercus to Crowdmark, and upcoming Quercus and Bb Collaborate release dates.
Don’t forget to hit record!
If possible, it is recommended that you record any live course sessions, to allow access for those who were not able to attend, had technical difficulties, or perhaps were unable to access the tech required to attend. This is, of course, a personal decision – thank you for considering it. Additionally, if you have PDFs or other annotated files, these could be shared with your class as well (pre- allows them to follow along; post- allows them to review).
