ADW EdTech-er
January 2017, Vol. 3
Greeting from the Director for Educational Technology
Happy New Year! As we prepare for Catholic Schools Week, let us remember to be spiritual leaders in our classrooms. If you aren't already doing so, try to incorporate Catholic Identity into your lessons.
Please enjoy this quarter's tech tips, resources, and tools that allow for seamless technology integration into daily lesson planning. Feel free to share with your faculty and staff.
"Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event." – Heidi-Hayes Jacobs
