New Links to New Learning Free Classes
As part of the New Links to New Learning membership fee, three teachers from each New Links participating school district may take three classes each for free. It does not matter if only one building in the district has videoconferencing equipment; all teachers in the district are eligible. These classes are taught in our tele lab at 1460 Craig Rd., St. Louis, MO 63146. Participants may also receive one hour of graduate credit from Lindenwood University for some of these classes for a fee of $60, payable to Lindenwood.
