New Adventure

Welcome to the first edition of the Exeter Ed Tech Newsletter!

This is the first edition of a new monthly newsletter written by Nora Allstedt. For those of you that don't know I'm a half-time Technology TOSA for the District as well as Wilson's Band Director. The technology position was created to help all educators in the district with technology tools and strategies as we move toward becoming a 1:1 district.

As a teacher I'm here to help you, please feel free to contact me. In this newsletter, you will find technology tips for the classroom.
