What is Technopoly
Educators work hard to keep up with the changes in educational technology, often learning new tools on their own. With Technopoly, educators can choose a category and a tech tool, work at their own pace to earn a badge and advance through the levels on their Technopoly board. Argyle ISD is launching Technopoly this summer to provide resources and give recognition to educators who integrate technology in the classroom. As an added bonus, the Technopoly board and badges earned will help teachers show evidence of progress made towards T-Tess goals.
