Educational Technology Explorations

Introduction: 

This is a collection of teaching and learning solutions: hardware, software, environmental and process changes that have been implemented, assessed and documented in the classroom.

Please see the Technology Tab for further information.

Schedule: 

These pages are provided to you as a means for educating you on the key aspects of implementation and the expected outcomes.  Many of these technologies and processes require a great deal of pre-planning for proper implementation.  

Due to capacity and other scheduling constraints we are providing this information with the hope that, should you choose to implement any of these processes, you can feel confidant in a DIY approach .

Technology: 

Please explore the Educational Technology solutions offered by our colleagues at their sites:

Teaching with Technology Website (ACCORD)
