Posters for your Classroom/Curriculum
The new poster maker is up and running and has already completed some great projects for teachers. Create posters for your classrooms or bring student projects to life to display. All you need to do is send a JPEG or PING (PING is recommended) to teachtioga@gmail.com. Or if you would prefer to create your own poster, the poster maker is available in the Teacher Center (Newark Valley High School room 234) for your use. Set up an appointment by emailing teachtioga@gmail.com. There is a nominal fee for any jobs that are not curriculum/classroom related.
The Tioga County Teacher Center is in the process of securing a Google Expedition Kit that teachers will be able to sign out and use in their classrooms. Training will be offered in June in all three districts on how to use the kits in your classroom. Once you go through the training, you will be able to sign these kits out and use them with your students. Imagine taking your Biology students inside the human body, your History class to the Battle at Gettysburg, or your Science class to an exploding volcano. Google Expeditions allow you to take your class on virtual reality field trips to hundreds of different locations around the world. There are only 25 spots available in each district for this training!!! Email teachtioga@gmail.com to reserve your spot. Exact dates of training will be determined when the Kits arrive!

Many teachers don't realize the resources that are available to them through The Tioga County Teacher Center. We have many resources available to teachers. In efforts to make these resources more accessible, a link has been added to the website that will list all of the resources. Any teacher who wants to borrow a resource just needs to notify the director and the resource can be dropped off at the district for the teacher to use. Please check out our list of resources on the website (still not complete, but a good start!)
