How Can Instructional Technology Help?
I am thrilled to be able to spend time at your school! As an Instructional Technology Specialist, my primary goal is to serve as a resource for teachers who are looking to embed technology into their daily lessons. It is my goal to help you in any possible way. If you would like some specifics of how we can work together, I can:
- meet with you after school or during planning to work on lesson plans
- teach a sample lesson to your students using the Nexus Tablets or Chromebooks
- observe your class and then offer suggestions on how to best embed technology
- provide hands-on assistance in your classroom
When Can We Meet?
I will "set up shop" in the Teacher Training Room (707), so if you would like to plan, we can meet there. I am also available to observe your classroom and offer suggestions as to how you could embed technology into your current lesson.
I will be at RSMS on September 29. You can click this link to set up the best time for you and I to work together.
