Every Tuesday, I'm going to be preparing quick, differentiated professional development for all staff members. I'm eager to share my tech knowledge to support my colleagues feel comfortable utilizing online tools, apps, devices, and all things tech so they can enhance the classroom experience.
I will focus on one tool, subscription, site, or program commonly used throughout the building each week. From exploring Schoology tricks to MERGE Cubes in science, creating folders in Outlook to creating a prototype using one of our 3D printers, each post will include short video links, shout outs and examples, in addition to various resources to personalize your own learning experience.
