February 22' Instructional Tech Updates

Lots of snow this month which has brought e-learning and snow days which caused a normally short month to seem even shorter.  As the year chugs along and February ends, March brings a new month where the sun is out more, flowers start to bloom, and of course at least one or two more snow storms.  Enjoy our February Instructional Technology Updates.  I'm sure you will find something in it which interests you.  

January 22' Instructional Tech Updates

Wow, January went quick! I don't know about you, but this year seems to be flying by.  Maybe it's because I have a junior and we are another step closer to him making some college decisions, or maybe it's because the older I get, the faster the years go.  Either way, I can't believe it's we are the end of January 2022!  

Take a look at the January 22' Instructional Tech Updates.  There is information on Nearpod, Book Creator, Black History Month and YOUR STAFF LAPTOP!
