CCSD Instructional Tech Update
Fall 2016
Supt. Day - November 10, 2016 (TECH and much more!)
There will be some follow up PD sessions before and after school beginning after break. (Dates are listed below.)
You are encouraged to seek out times with me specific to you/your need, as well. (This week I even fielded a request to work with a specific team! Great idea!)
Please remember to share photos of tech use in your classroom or specific tools/apps that might help out your colleagues!! Smart Schools funding is on the horizon (fingers crossed) and we continue to make technology a priority to support our district vision and goals, as Dr. Stratton shared!
Great tool for generating rubrics

FREE ON-LINE BOOKS!
Several teachers around the district are using tech to access free books for our students. Here is a link that includes some of the tools that teachers are using (and many others). If you have one that you prefer, please share!
