ET NEW Logo


August 2011 

Greetings!  

 

The end of summer brings an exciting time as school gets back in session.  With the new school year excitement often comes a new school year resolution to better incorporate technology into your room, especially if you've been lucky enough to acquire new pieces of hardware and/or software over the summer!

 

One of our favorite ways of supporting our schools is to come in for a "planning period" day, where we work 1:1 with individual teachers in their room, with their resources, and with their computer to best help incorporate their technology tools to fit their teaching strategies.  We stay the entire day and work with a number of teachers during that time in this manner.  

 

Let us know if we can be of help at your school!
