Another successful Teacher Tech Training!

We had Teacher Tech Training on Friday, October 18th 12:30-2:30 at Sunrise Tech Center. Those in attendance were excited to create Class Websites in Google Sites. Their plan is to use them in their classes so they and their students can have easy access to online technology. The class websites can be used with the teacher presentation station, phones or tablets. Please send comments to let us know what happened. Just click the comment button after you sign in. Add your name.

September 20th in Teacher Tech Training, Heidi Ainscow, Ellen Huls, Deanna Rafanelli, Shireen Miles, and Breshna Ghafari wanted to create or update a class website. It was a lot of fun and everyone created a class site! Ask them about it when you next see them.

We look forward to our next Teacher Tech Training at Sunrise Tech Center on October 18 at 12:30-2:30. This is paid Professional Development. Come and join us and maybe you will want to create a class website, too!
