eGrads

All Granite teachers who have received their Educational Technology Endorsement through eMINTS, TILT, or ETEP are invited to attend eGrad Tech Tuesdays on the first Tuesday of every month. These professional development sessions will provide the opportunity to keep up with newer tools and strategies in educational technology and with time to collaborate with other teachers who are interested in best practices for using technology in their classrooms. Each session will be centered around one of the new ISTE standards. Graduates are welcome to sign up to attend any of the sessions they are interested in. Those who attend at least 8 of the sessions and complete an assignment will receive 1 USBE credit.
