Making A Difference

"Dear Jim,

Thank you for your on-going assistance with my technology needs; your replies are always prompt, professional & lucid. More specifically, I want to express my greatest appreciation for helping me create the movie maker that enabled me to show the 25 book trailers enacted by my 7th grade reading classes. With over 100 parts ranging from credit texts to prologues, epilogues and scene creation, this was no small task. You went above and beyond the call stopping by before your other commitments to make sure that my program was ready to run for the parent open house night. Because of your efforts, I have been able to implement more technology in the classroom and have succeeded in creating the first (of many) video library entries enabling all students at Harwich Middle School to view the "free reading books" of the seventh grade classes. I look forward to continuing to work with you."

Sincerely,

Georgia Petrasko

7th Grade Reading Teacher


Welcome to the Harwich Public Schools Instructional Technology Site!
 

This site is for educators integrating classroom technology in order to increase student engagement, improve student performance and promote the sharing of information and ideas within the school district and community.

My mission as the Instructional Technology Specialist
for the district is to provide teachers with the support and the training they need to successfully integrate technology into the classroom experience. Please feel free to email me and request a time for instructional technology support*
 

Today's students are plugged-in and turned on. They respond very well to effective integration of technology in the classroom and will create phenomenal products when given the tools, the time and the structure that only a skillful teacher can provide. Many of the resources on this site focus on the development of 21st Century Skills and the use of Web 2.0 tools that teachers can use to enhance the learning environment and create a rich and varied educational experience for all students.
