HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION TRAINING

 

Cordova High School

 

Shelby County Schools has made an extensive investment in technology infrastructure, hardware, training, and support. The value of this technology investment can only be measured by how teachers use it. We are on the brink of a fundamental change in the teaching and learning process. We have the opportunity to engage in widespread training that will facilitate a new direction for the use of technology in Shelby County. This two week integration training will expose you to many new ideas, stretch your creative juices, and give you the opportunity to develop some quality WebQuest projects that you will be able to use in your classroom next school year.
