Atomic Learning is the Key!
Atomic Learning is an online technology resource that is provided to you by FBISD. Atomic Learning has over 60,000 self-paced videos to help you integrate technology into your curriculum. Videos are broken down into small, manageable pieces for your needs so you won't have to watch a full length video. This resource is available to FBISD teachers, students, and parents 24hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to online tutorials, such as Office 2010, Adobe, Windows 7, and iPads, there are over 300 student project plans that include video tutorials and downloadable resources.
