I have a bit of a different take on the training - and I think everyone on this thread probably has the same opinion, so forgive me if I'm stating the obvious...
I don't let technology get between me and my students, and I also don't feel I have to personally create every piece of course material.
Let me give a concrete example. I taught a class of dual enrollment High School students who are earning credit at our University. I assigned them to watch a short <2 minute YouTube video with their parents and then pose a question (that I provided) to their parents and get their answer before coming to class. The lively and very active discussion we had in class about those "kitchen table" talks was fantastic. Very high energy, and I know it was memorable for the students.
I feel I could have done this just as well by sending Higher Ed students home with a printed photo and having them pose a question about the photo (perhaps both extracted from the textbook) to their family and friends. Not much technology or content creation on my part needed.
