Nest Fest is designed for teachers who are new to Birdville ISD or getting started with our digital learning tools.
This experience is built to support your first years in the district by helping you learn the systems, tools, and expectations used in Birdville classrooms. You’ll leave with a clear starting point and a better understanding of how digital tools and curriculum work together to support student learning.
Nest Fest is a one-day, hands-on experience where you’ll build confidence with the tools and strategies used across the district.
Sessions are grounded in district curriculum and also focus on the digital tools that support instruction, including platforms for lesson delivery, interactive displays, and classroom management. You’ll have time to explore, practice, and apply what you learn so it directly translates to your classroom.
Choose sessions that match your needs and experience level. Each session is interactive and focused on practical classroom use.

You’ll learn, practice, and apply ideas in real time so you leave ready to use them in your classroom.
