Eric's EdTech Webinars and Certificates

Although I do lots of live trainings, both in-person and remote, I am only able to reach so many people that way. To try to reach more people, for many years I have been recording a lot of my training sessions and then posting those to my YouTube channel.

If you haven't checked out my YouTube channel, I encourage you to do so. There are hundreds of videos there covering a wide range of educational technology topics. Please consider subscribing as well so you don't miss new content. You can access my channel here: youtube.com/ericcurts

Although having access to my videos on YouTube is great, sometimes teachers ask me if they can also get a certificate of attendance for watching my recorded trainings. Many educators need a certain number of PD hours each year to renew their licenses.

To help with this I am now providing free automated certificates of completion for many of my recorded videos. See below for all the details on how to view the videos and get your own certificates.


▶️ My Webinar Page

Although I have hundreds of recorded videos from over the years, not all of them are available with certificates yet. The ones that that do have certificates have now been listed on my webinars page here:

... or here ...

There you will find my current recorded trainings that have the option for a certificate of completion, along with a title, description, and resources for each session.


📜 Getting a Certificate

For each recorded training there are two options for watching the videos:

If you just want to watch the video, and not get a certificate:
  • Simply click the YouTube link next to "Video (no certificate)"

However if you want to get a certificate for watching a video:
  • Click the EdPuzzle link next to "Video (with certificate)".
  • This will take you to an EdPuzzle page where you can click "Join open class".
  • You should be able to view the class without needing a code
    • Note: If you already have an Edpuzzle teacher account, you will need to temporarily log out of that account so you can join my class as a student.
    • Note: If EdPuzzle asks for a code, you can use the class code "hugodfi" to join.
  • You can now watch the recorded video.
  • At the end of the video you will get a link to a Google Form which you will fill out to get your certificate.
  • The certificate will be automatically generated and emailed to you.
  • If you do not receive the certificate, be sure to check your spam folder, and then contact me if you still need help.
If you do not receive the certificate, be sure to check your spam folder, and then contact me if you still need help.

Note: You are not able to skip forward in the video, but must watch it in its entirety to receive a certificate of completion. If irregularities are noted (not enough time between separate requests to have completely watched the video) the certificate will not be generated for the request.


🗓️ Future Webinars

I plan to continue to add more recorded trainings to my webinars page over time, so be sure to check back on the page from time to time.

Let me know if you have a request for a specific topic to be covered in a future recording. You can see my PD catalog with over 70 sessions here:


Or feel free to request a different topic not on the list. I look forward to learning with you!
