Instructional Technology in the District
This year has been very busy and instructional technology training has been limited with the district being down an ITRT. However, we would like to introduce some programs and apps and offer training opportunities. Please contact me for training on any of the featured apps or technology standards. Mrs. Crewe has volunteered to help. She or I will contact you if you request training.
