ATT6 MovieMaker
During the first week of February, the JFDTech team, along with a few of the 9th grade 1:1 pilot program teachers, attended the state's annual Education/Technology conference. Lots was learned and here is some of the best info that attendees had to share.
To help share what it was like to attend TCEA for the first time, Jessica Casteel from Dobie East shared some of the information that she learned from the conference.
Try something new for 30 days
Lots of change is in the horizon for Dobie H.S. with the new 1:1 pilot program. This big change might seem like a major challenge; however, it is important to remember to set smaller goals to help to achieve your bigger goals. As we make the move to the new 1:1 program, try something new for 30 days to help you reach your goals!
Online Professional Development Opportunities

Sophia.org is a wonderful learning tool that provides teachers with the opportunity to do online professional development in the following categories:
- The Flipped Classroom Certification
- Google Chrome Classroom Certification
- Virtual Classroom Certification
- iPad Prepared Certification
Each course provides a user with a certificate from Capella University.
Sophia.org also provides the opportunity to participate in webinars and blogs.
