Call for Presenters for January 6-7 PD Days: Through the Looking Glass
Teachers, we are excited to offer an opportunity for you to present a topic you know really well to your fellow PISD teachers! As ETSs, we see incredible uses of technology on campus, and other teachers need to see it too! You have a lot to offer your fellow teachers on your campus, or a campus across town! Possible topics could be something as simple as a) how you incorporate iPads into your curriculum, b) how you use Seesaw (or other apps) with your students, c) tech-based station ideas, or any other techy topic you want to showcase!
