Upon the conclusion of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your product, you will receive the same certificate of completion as participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities.  This may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional development hours.  Certificates are for 14 hours of professional development. The pluses are that you will be able to conduct your studies on your own schedule and hours, and you will save money on air fare, hotels and meals. The minuses are that you will not have the face-to-face interaction with other educators as they study, discuss, plan and share.
