TPEA Webinars
During the year, TPEA organises a series of free webinars focused on some of our key concerns, including: the use of technology in schools, the teaching of computing, and the training of teachers. The webinars are intended to share research-based knowledge freely and to provide an opportunity for teachers, teacher-educators and those doing research to keep up to date and to share ideas and challenges. Each webinar will begin with a short panel discussion and then invite participants to contribute to debate and discussion.
