Message from the Director
I have talked before about starting up a Tech Academy. I have had several interested but I know time is our number one problem. I am considering offering workshops in the summer in our training room at the Technology building. Please let me know if you are interested in this hands-on opportunity. I will put together some content ideas in the near future and also put together a schedule to see if this would be helpful to you.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions related to technology for your classroom. We are here to help you!
Have a great February!
Annette
