Tyler's Tech Tips
September 2017
Kahoot Jumble, AWW App, Math Apps, and IOS 11
Welcome Back!
For those of you who do not know me, my name is Tyler Leipprandt. This is my fourth year as the Instructional Technology Consultant at the Huron ISD. My goal is to help educators become more proficient in the area of using technology in the classroom.
I would love to help you on this journey to becoming more tech savvy in your classroom. Here are a variety of services I offer that may help you accomplish that:
- I can do a guest lesson in your classroom demonstrating a tech tool
- I can meet with you on your prep, lunch, or before/after school
- I can provide you with a list of tools that you can use in your classroom
- I am always open for collaboration through email, social media, phone calls, or face-to-face
- I publish monthly newsletters (like this one) to inform you of new tools you may want to try out.
- I can do some research for you on your quest to find the right tech tool
I regularly visit each Huron County district and you should always get a sign-up sheet emailed to you before I visit your school. If you are in need of any instructional tech help, please sign-up on that sheet. If you need assistance and I am not scheduled to be in your district, please get a hold of me and I will do my best to help out. You may email me at tylerl@huronisd.org or call my office phone at 989-269-3494.
Have a great year and I am looking forward to working with you!
