Free Classes

As part of the New Links to New Learning membership fee, three teachers from each New Links participating school district may take three tele classes each for free. The videoconference course must be one of the three taken, and the other two classes are chosen by the participant. It does not matter if only one building in the district has videoconference equipment; all teachers in the district are eligible.

These classes are taught in the tele at 1460 Craig Rd., St. Louis, MO 63146. Participants may also receive one hour of graduate credit from Lindenwood University for some of these classes for a fee of $60, payable to Lindenwood.

The list of classes that can be taken free as part of the New Links membership is as follows:

About our technology enhanced learning environment (tele)

tele

PC or Mac capability! Our tele is now equipped with computers that use both Windows and Macintosh operating systems. Pick any class, and you will have the option of working either in a PC or Mac environment. We have reworked our classes in order to provide you with more ideas for classroom application using technology.

Our focus is on student outcomes and developing 21st century skills. These classes provide you with:
* Hands-on activities

* Time to create usable lesson plans with newly acquired technology skills

Find out how to use new technology tools and how to integrate them into your classroom and lesson plans at the same time!
