What the Tech?

Schedule Time w/ Me
I'm also available to help you with tech in the classroom. I would love to come in and team-teach with you using technology. I am full of ideas and if I can't think of something on the spot I will research and figure out something that will work for you. I love a tech challenge!

Help Requests - Even for PD!
Eric Ewing is updating the tech form so that it makes more sense. For example, right now if in the location box you type in 'Art' for the 'Art room' it will also show all Chromebook cARTs.... It's a work in progress - once he is finished and the inventory is updated it should work much better.
Thank you, once again, for your patience.
