Welcome to our new technology integration blog.

Recently, members of our AOS 98 technology integration team decided to take a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) together to learn more about a coaching model for helping teachers make the transition to teaching and learning in digital environments. One outcome of the course was our decision to find a more effective way to communicate our ideas, resources, and expertise to the faculty and staff of all schools in the district. We agreed to try a multi-author blog where we could write for our target audience and also share our work with the world.

Over the summer and in the upcoming school year, we will be posting resources and ideas as we find them and as needs arise. These may be reviews of apps we think you may want to try, tips for using your technology more efficiently, ideas for curriculum-related projects, reports on innovative lessons we see, and links to information about professional development opportunities.
