EISD Technology Integration Tools

and Curriculum Resources

New Teacher Institute

Thursday and Friday, August 7 and 8, 2008

9:00 am-12:00pm

[JANICE] NOTE: The most important thing for this training it seems to me is getting them set up to use Eduphoria and other tools that they will need right away.  All of the other things are really important to overview and let them look at and also to make sure they know how to get back to.  Is there a different session for Groupwise?  I forget.  I know that for me most of the things below only became meaningful when I discovered them in context.  I should have remembered that I was introduced to them during this session, but I only remembered what applied at the time.

Paula Murray - EISD Director of Instructional Technology
