Teaching with Technology training series

Welcome back to school! In case you missed it, the district is offering a new learning opportunity for teachers called Teaching with Technology, designed to provide a comprehensive foundation for teaching effectively with technology in the classroom. This series is ideal for any teacher interested in having students use digital tools for collaboration, assignments and assessments, especially through the use of Chromebooks.
Teaching with Technology is designed for all teachers at any level of experience, but will be especially helpful for those who haven’t had the opportunity to take a deep dive into the use of technology as an enhancement to instructional purposes, or those who have dipped their toes in the water, but would like to learn more before taking the plunge. Check out more on each session, ask at the library with any questions you may have, or click here to sign up.
