iPad Innovation - Register Today for the iPad Knight Training Academy
iPad Innovation Training and Distribution has begun. There are still spots open!
Based on best practices, iPad deployment this time around is different. Teacher iPads are being distributed at specific iPad trainings. Any classroom teacher wishing to receive an iPad for use in their classroom will be required to attend a 1 hour training. Upon completion of the training, teachers will be able to check out the iPad.
We are offering multiple sessions several days each week. Each session will be maxed out at 20 attendees. This will ensure effective and efficient training. We will continue to offer iPad trainings as long as they are well attended.
Attendees must:
- Pre-register in Eduphoria (no walk-ins)
