Welcome to a new format! In lieu of live Zoom sessions (due conflicts with my schedule in May and everyone's very busy June), tech tool demonstrations will be prerecorded and posted below.
A new educational technology tool will be demonstrated twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month. A link to the video will be posted below. If you have comments or suggestions, please reach out or complete the form below.
I look forward to connecting with you all again in August!
