Webinars and videos

PETAA uses video and webinar formats for professional learning activities.

When an interactive webinar format with supporting resources is used for professional learning, recordings can be made available to PETAA members.

Partnership projects, such as Global Words and the CAL Connect series are able to make recorded webinars and video materials available to the general public.
