In January 2021, the PDN began offering Tech Help Sessions to provide instructors with basic technology training. Each session focuses on a specific topic. Sessions include a demonstration of the topic, followed by Q&A from participants and hands-on practice. The demonstration recordings are available below. Since these Tech Help Sessions primarily function as Q&A open help sessions, no PD hours are issued.
