Training+Dates

=North Side Technology Training Schedule=

Please check the dates and times listed below for training sessions on using and integrating technology in the curriculum. All training will take place in the North Side computer lab, unless noted otherwise. Please email me if you need training on something other than that which is listed. I am happy to arrange a time to meet with and help anyone with technology related questions or will add a topic to the training schedule if there is interest. I ask that you please consider sharing the resources that you create in our trainings by allowing me to post them on the [|CD District technology site]. Each of us works hard in our profession...sharing ideas and resources is one way to assure materials are relevant for a particular grade, skill, or subject area as well as a way to cut down on individual planning time. Resources may be added to the district site anonymously or with a citation as to the name, grade, and school of the creator.
