Do you need quick, proven ideas for using technology in your classroom?
INFOhio ICoaches have the answer.
 
INFOhio's ICoaches provide hands-on training to help teachers make the most of classroom technology and INFOhio digital resources. ICoaches do more than just talk about technology features. They connect technology to real-life classroom teaching.

Your INFOhio ICoach:
  • Delivers presentations on using technology and INFOhio resources to promote early literacy, college & career readiness, tech skills for online testing, STEM instruction, digital literacy, and more.
  • Ensures you can effectively use 1:1 technology in your classroom.
  • Provides hands-on training for small and large groups.
  • Ties all instruction to Ohio's Learning Standards.
Go to the INFOhio ICoach web page and use the map to find the name and contact information of your Regional ICoach. Based at an ITC, ESC, or EdTech, regional ICoaches train classroom teachers and other educators to use INFOhio resources effectively while helping them to integrate INFOhio into their classrooms.

Or scan this list to see whether a District/Building ICoach is available in your school. D/B ICoaches are librarians, teachers, and others who are excited about digital learning and sharing ideas with their peers. On their own time, they have completed extra training in technology integration and are available to coach others in their schools or districts.

Mountain Line Drawing

 

Looking for ways to introduce primary grade students to programming while reinforcing literacy and numeracy skills?

 

Want to see how simply rearranging library shelving and furniture and making small policy changes created an environment where students want to spend more time in the library exploring topics that interest them?

 

Want new ideas for co-teaching with your faculty?

 

Then review the Proceedings Papers of the Treasure Mountain Research Retreat, which was held as an informal pre-conference to the national American Association of School Librarians conference held in Columbus, November 5-8.  And if you're interested in learning even more about Learning Commons and the history and purpose of the biennial Treasure Mountain Research Retreat, take a look at the Treasure Mountain news item, The Library Learning Commons--Start a Revolution, on the INFOhio website.
