Where is our campuswith using technology?
Be open to using technology in your classroom, even if you aren’t an “expert” using it. The students will be more than happy to help!
Additional professional development opportunities for use of technology will be offered at various times. (before, during, and after school)
How do we improve?
Questions?
Let the technology do the work for you. Use Examview, it grades for you!!!
Don’t be afraid to try new things, especially with technology. If it doesn’t work, it’s research, not a failure or waste.
You have 2 technology facilitators, Jeni Long and Lisa Rogers, plus myself to answer any technology related questions. Use us!!!
