Tech Tutorials

I hope everyone is rested for the rest of the school year. I took all of the information from the people that filled out the form and I put together a schedule that I hope will meet the needs of all of the teachers in the building. If these times do not work for you, please email me and we can try and set something up 1:1 so I can help you.

These sessions are designed for teachers that have little to no experience with the tools or those looking for my information on how to incorporate these into the class. If you are a more advanced user and want to stop by and offer some help, you are welcome as well.

The only thing you need to do is send me an email the day before to let me know you will be stopping by and I will be waiting in my room to help you. Even it is one person, these tech tutorials will be happening.

If you have any questions, please drop me a note or send me an email and I will be happy to answer them for you.

All sessions will be in room 292.
