Effective Instructional Technology in the Classroom
Welcome, teachers! Here you will find resources that are hopefully useful to you. We will be adding to this (and taking things down). To start, we would like to provide you with access to important site links for the school year. You can find them here.
Here you will find some links to district resources that might be useful. This quicklink page was compiled by our district TIL.
This site requires a teacher email to login. It has a ton of resources, some of which I will pull for easier access.
This will be useful during various times when you need to lockdown computers within your class periods.
The mission of this site is to provide both in house (district) and outside tech resources for teachers at YV that help us to use technology within our classrooms more effectively during instructional time.
Here are some general classroom tech resources that prove useful in the secondary classroom. The websites can be accessed by clicking the titles while tutorials will be found in the description. For Tech Requests please click here or scroll down to the "Requests for Tech" button. If you have any ideas or specific tools you love and would like to see added, please send them to me here!
