=Welcome to Summer Technology Workshops - 2010=

We are pleased to be able to offer summer technology workshops again this year. These workshops are such an excellent professional development opportunity because they are taught by your colleagues who use the different technologies daily. In addition, the 3-4 hour sessions really allow for lots of "hands-on" time. This helps attendess walk away with a strong knowledge of the topic and tangible results. Act 48 credit will be earned for attending any of these classeses.

Each of these technologies assists in creating a student-centered, project-based learning environment. By learning about the best application of each tool to your lessons, you'll be able offer new, highly effective tools to your students for their educational experience.
