Bright Ideas for K12

The Bright Ideas Webinar Series is on hiatus for the summer of 2026. We hope to announce new sessions for fall 2026 soon! In the meantime, please explore past recordings on our YouTube Playlist.

Tailored for K12 educators, this Customer Enablement series highlights tools and practices that strengthen instruction, support parent/guardian communication, and enhance engagement in the classroom, no matter the delivery model. Each session includes 30 minutes of focused learning followed by 15 minutes of discussion and Q&A. New sessions will be announced every quarter. Check out our next sessions below!

Upcoming Sessions

On Hiatus: Please check out the Community Events page to see what else is available!

Past Sessions

Find information on past Bright Ideas for K12 sessions in the table below. This table will be updated quarterly. Recordings will remain available on our YouTube Playlist until the session is delivered again or when the material no longer aligns with the latest version of the platform. Older recordings are then retired in favor of updated materials.
