Inspiring educators to work collaboratively & digitally
GenNET Tech2Teach Cohort 1 Moving Forward
Session #1 for the 2016-17 Tech2Teach Educators took place on September 27, 2016 for 34 members of Cohort 1. Meeting colleagues from around the county met for the first time and were on the move. They attended sessions of pathways of learning offered this fall at Tech2Teach, made decisions about which pathway would be best for them and how all options could be helpful in integrating new instructional technology in the work.
Goals for choosing pathways to focus include the opportunity to:
- Inspire and coach teachers how to improve and integrate the use of technology
- Assist with helping teachers increase student engagement and learning with onsite visits by instructional technology and education and learning staff
- Focus on specific pathways of instructional technology professional development applicable to specific content areas
- Develop efficient management of information
- Develop professional relationships for increased networking across Genesee GenNET participating districts.
