There will be three days of technology training workshops offered the week before teacher inservice this month. The dates, times, and session topics are listed below. If you did not attend the workshop in July you are eligible for three hours of seat time compensation on any one of these days. The rest of the time will be spent working through the online technology training modules which you will be compensated for based on training module completion.
