Become a "Granite Ed Tech Champion" Kickoff
The Educational Technology Department is excited to announce the kickoff of our monthly challenges to become a "Granite Ed Tech Champion".
Each month we will announce new optional challenges based around Impactful Technology Uses (ITU's). To complete an ITU challenge, you will work in collaboration with your school's Technology Coach or Library Technology Coach to plan and implement one of the Impactful Technology Uses. Additionally, you can also work with other coaches at your school in collaboration with the Tech Coach or Library Tech Coach to implement the monthly challenge. Details can be found in the links below.
Details about each monthly challenge and how to participate will be made available through our newsletters, on our Ed Tech Champions Website, our district website and through other announcements and bulletins.
A stipend will be awarded for each monthly challenge completed with your Technology Coach or Library Technology Coach. Click on the link below for full stipend details
