Diving Deep with Blended Learning
Calling all i4 innovators! We would like to remind you that the Ed Tech Department will offering an optional i4 Tech Training on Wednesday, November 18th for any i4 teachers interested. We are planning a day of working together to share our experiences around technology and innovative practices. We will look deeply at how to practically balance traditional and technology-enhanced practices by looking at some research, exploring some new technology tools, and collaborating to solve common issues.
To sign up, please click on the link and complete the short Google Form. Due to space limitations in the TLX, there will be a maximum of 40 teachers for this first training (sign up early); we will be offering another one later in the school year. The goal of the training is to have professional development in the morning and collaboration/support time in the afternoon. Sign-up Below!
