Description
Tech-infused Teacher 2016 is a three week (June 19-July 9), eighteen-hour interactive course on the most popular tech ed topics. These are the ones you’ve heard about, seen—want to use in your class if only you knew how to do that. It blends technology with teaching to build a collaborative, differentiated, and shared learning environment. In this three-week course (formerly known as Summer PD), you use a suite of digital tools to leverage change while addressing overarching concepts like digital citizenship, internet search and research, authentic assessment, digital publishing, and immersive keyboarding. You actively collaborate with classmates, sharing knowledge and providing constructive feedback, while you learn to publish digitally and solve common class tech problems. Classmates will become the core of your ongoing Professional Learning Network.
Assessment is project-based so be prepared to be fully-involved and an eager risk-taker.

What Teachers Say
I am learning so much from this class. I really will be able to relate to my students when they get frustrated problem solving. These two classes have been the best professional development courses I have taken in a long time. I will be recommending your classes to all the teachers I work with!
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed taking the Summer PD. The resources are truly priceless. I can’t wait to incorporate into my own trainings to better prepare our teachers and students for an amazing experience! Thank you so much for all of the hard work you’ve put into the class.
