Back to School: Fall 2016


Welcome back, and we hope you are having a wonderful beginning to your 2016-2017 school year!  We know there were a lot of technology changes over the summer, and this first week back is hectic even without having to learn new technological ways to do you job.  So here is a post that attempts to bring together all of the new things that you should know about in one convenient location.

New Technology Training Site

You will see reference to this often in the rest of the post.  Over the summer, the instructional technology coaches created a new technology training site for Unit 5 that attempts to bring together the collective knowledge found in our videos, helpsheets, and brains into one location.  Additionally, the site allows for a record to be kept of your progress through the courses.  This allows you to demonstrate your growth in educational technology to and administrator during evaluation cycles.  More details on the course as a whole can be found in this document, and a direct link to the site can be found here (bit.ly/u5trainme).
