You are here:  Home    Technology Tech Teacher of the Month

 

 

 

 
 

 

As you know we have faced many challenges in the Technology area in the past year. With the support of our teachers, staff, and administrators we have been able to accomplish significant progress in preparing our Technology resources to support classroom integration activities. We have also been reviewing the use of resources provided within the District to see what teachers find most valuable to support the important mission of preparing our students for 21st century learning.

During the past year, we noticed several teachers who modeled the use of Technology in their classroom. Each month, we take the time to recognize one of our many teachers who exemplify the characteristics of a 21st Century educator. Please join us in congratulating each of our 2010-2011 Technology Teachers of the Month.
