What the Tech? TDHS- Support

Hello,

I will be at TDHS on February 27 (West) and February 28 & March 1 (Main) for support.

Please use the sign-up sheet for any support requests. Include a reason for the meeting and your room number if you prefer that I come to you.

Also, you may see me come into your class to Tweet about the awesome instructional activities and to get an idea of how to better support your needs.

Digital Learning Day will be held on February 28, 2019. Digital learning is any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student’s learning experience. It emphasizes high-quality instruction and provides access to challenging content, feedback through formative assessment, opportunities for learning anytime and anywhere, and individualized instruction to ensure all students reach their full potential to succeed in college and a career.
