Welcome to the Technology Workshop class
Welcome to the Technology Workshop class
The Technology Workshop is a new addition to the Communicating with Technology classes.
It was created for a number of reasons:
To support the other classes and provide hands on practice on what is covered
To encourage students with an interest in technology to share their expertise
To create groups for students with like interests to better increase their understanding
To support those students who would like more assistance in technology tools like smartphones, online cloud storage, online safety and more
To create an in -person site for personalized assistance and sharing
To learn more about evolving technology
We encourage feedback from all students as we look for the best ways to engage and inform.
