How To Set Up a Technology Day in Your District
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
12 pm CST

With the seemingly impossible job of creating meaningful technology training opportunities for teachers and staff who are pressed for time, Tuloso-Midway ISD in Corpus Christi, Texas developed a “Teaching with Technology Day” which has become their very own district-wide technology conference.

Teachers have conference bags, programs, many sessions from which to choose, and most importantly, the opportunity to learn from their fellow teachers what technology integration really looks like in the classroom. Having just completed their fifth such conference, they have developed a step-by-step guide that can be used to plan a technology conference in any district.

Job Security No More......(by Jen Wagner at Tech & Learning)

in Tech Learning, professional development, software, technology, training

You might call it a lot of things….but in actuality it was a lot of conceit with a bit of job security.
