Ed Tech Endorsement Elective Course Enrollment is now open
Registration for the Ed Tech Endorsement Elective Courses is now open. You can find a list of courses at the following link. These courses are taught in conjunction with UEN so you will be registering via their system. In order to register for these courses you will need a UEN Canvas Account. If you have previously taken UEN courses this account will work. If not you will need to create a UEN account.
Courses are open to all teachers, and can be taken even if you are not a part of the first endorsement cohort program.
Thank you for your participation in this program. We look forward to working with you.
If you have any questions about the ETEP program please contact Raimee Jensen 801-567-8158 in the Educational Technology department.

12 Days of Christmas Learning Challenge shared by Sandy King
What is the 12 Days of Christmas Learning Challenge shared by Sandy King?
Happy Holidays!
This is "Sandy Claus and Tinsel Tiff" inviting you to join us for the 12 Days of Christmas Learning Challenge! #12DaysofChristmasLC
Each day we'll post a simple activity that you can do to keep learning and growing.
These are challenges for teachers, secretaries, aides, food service workers, custodians, support staff members, administrators, parents, bus drivers, central office workers and even students. (It's for everyone!) We're all learners and learning together is FUN!
It's OK to make a mistake! That's how we learn! Ask questions. Think about how you can APPLY the learning to your specific job/situation.
CHALLENGE #1
(You can even experiment and make your own Padlet and then share it on our main one.)
PLEASE, feel free to SHARE the 12 Days of Christmas Learning Challenge with others!
Happy Holidays!
Sandy Claus and Tinsel Tiff
