OK2Ask professional workshops

TeachersFirst is pitching OK2Ask as a free line of virtual teacher workshops built around classroom-ready strategies, not long-form training. (teachersfirst.org) The program says its sessions are interactive, practical, and tied to research-based pedagogy, with TeachersFirst edtech coaches leading the workshops for no fee. TeachersFirst also says every session is aligned with International Society for Technology in Education standards and includes documented objectives. (teachersfirst.org) TeachersFirst is advertising five new spring workshops on its OK2Ask page, and its main site listed an April 14, 2026 session on “Empowering Digital Balance: Teaching Healthy Technology Habits.” The organization says teachers can register for upcoming sessions through its workshop schedule. (teachersfirst.org (teachersfirst.org)) The pitch lands as schools keep looking for professional development that fits around the school day and can be used quickly in class. TeachersFirst describes OK2Ask as “pajama-compatible,” delivered online, and available from any computer with a high-speed internet connection. (teachersfirst.org) TeachersFirst says the workshops are available in both live and on-demand formats, with certificates tied to participation requirements. Its on-demand archive listed 83 workshop results this week, including March 2026 sessions on artificial intelligence in the classroom and effective feedback, plus February 2026 sessions on inquiry and digital storytelling. (teachersfirst.org) The format is designed as guided practice rather than a lecture, according to TeachersFirst’s user guide. The guide says participants work through pedagogical discussion, hands-on exploration, reflection, planning, and required comprehension checkpoints during each session. (teachersfirst.org) TeachersFirst says OK2Ask is provided by The Source for Learning, a nonprofit that has supported education for more than 40 years. The organization also says live and on-demand offerings can count for credit, with special relicensure arrangements in Texas, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. (teachersfirst.org 1) (teachersfirst.org 2) The workshops cover a wide grade span and different comfort levels with classroom technology. TeachersFirst’s training portal says the offerings are built for teachers “at every technology comfort level” and focus on free tools aimed at engagement, differentiation, and student success.
