Mark your calendar! Your OC Global Team presents First Friday! Professional Development Opportunities and Educational Technology Tips to keep you up to date!

Coming soon to a computer near you!

Your OC Global team will be presenting a series of professional development workshops designed to provide how-to info, and keep you up-to-date with the latest and greatest educational technologies that are available to us!

These workshops will be held on the First Friday of each month from 12:00-1:00 PM during the regular term. Be sure to mark your calendar for our 2018/2019 series of First Friday training activities.

You can earn Professional Development Credit for all sessions offered as First Friday sessions. Make sure to open up the Odessa College App, navigate the the Employees area, and add the First Friday sessions to your professional development list!

If you aren’t able to attend the session at the time it is being offered live – that’s fine! You can still get PD credit for the session if you watch the recording of the session within 7 days of it being offered. Check the table below for all First Friday recorded session links.
