Virtual Events for District Staff and Students

The calendar below lists the Video Conferencing events available through Region 7, including Hybrid sessions, virtual field trips, and TEA meetings. This calendar will be updated as events are scheduled or deleted.

 

There are 2 types of events listed on the calendar (as indicated by the following word in all caps at the beginning of the calendar entry):

 

STUDENT: Virtual field trips and other programming designated for a student audience. All of the student events listed are available for no charge to Video Conferencing and ESC7net members. Visit the Virtual Field Trips tab for more information. Please note that our content provider, Connect2Texas, does provide additional events beyond what we have on the calendar; however, there is an additional registration fee required for any events not posted to our calendar.

 

TEA: These are sessions with content provided by TEA or other state agencies that have been made available to districts.

 

Please note: We recommend scheduling virtual field trips for groups of 30-40 students to facilitate participation in the interactive portions of the virtual field trip. Multiple classrooms/schools may connect to an event at one time. If you would like to be the only classroom/school participating in an event, contact the content provider. For sessions provided by the Bullock Texas State History Museum, email [email protected].

 

Only free events through Connect2Texas are listed on the Video Conferencing Calendar. There are additional events listed on the Connect2Texas website that are available for a fee. The district is responsible for any registration fees associated with signing up for one of these virtual field trips.
