Technology bcps

Take the attitude of a student; never be too big to ask questions and never know too much to learn something new.

- Og Mandino -

Kentucky's Technology Integration Specialists provide

on-site and on-demand assistance for fellow teachers to

create different forms of learning and teaching with the

help of technologies. They seek to improve student

learning by showing teachers the thoughtful applications

and best practices of these new tools.

Indications show that TIS’s, carefully chosen and wisely used,

are more effective in helping teachers incorporate technology

into teaching and learning than any other form of professional

development.

Teacher Wordpress Websites/Blogs

http://blogs.bullittschools.org

The new teacher webs give the teachers the freedom to have Individual Websites or

Team Websites. This allows ongoing communication with parents and students.

Teachers can post lesson plans, newsletters, permission slips, websites, pictures,

and learning news from the classroom. Visit your teacher’s website to find out more

information about what is happening in your classroom.

Posting assignments, blogging news and information, and keeping families informed

of what is happening in the classroom is more developed in the new teacher

websites.

As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to

use technology to make really big differences in

how people live and work.- Sergey Brin -
