Be open to using technology in your classroom, even if you aren’t an “expert” using it. The students will be more than happy to help!
Additional professional development opportunities for use of technology will be offered at various times. (before, during, and after school)
How do we improve?
Questions?
Let the technology do the work for you. Use Examview, it can grade for you!!!
Don’t be afraid to try new things, especially with technology. If it doesn’t work, it’s research, not a failure or waste. Just be ready with a backup plan if it does not work out how you want it to.
A few thoughts before you go…
