Teaching and Learning Chess Online
Engaging students in chess has been shown to help students develop problem-solving skills, planning, patience, focus, and self-discipline. In this session, participants will learn more about how to foster these skills in their students through chess. We will explore online tools and resources that can be used to engage students virtually. Whether you are familiar with the game or new to chess, this session will be beneficial to educators at a variety of levels.
