21st Century Education won't be defined by any new technology. It won't be just defined by 1:1 technology programs or tech-intensive projects. 21st Century Education will, however, be defined by a fundamental shift in what we are teaching - a shift towards learner-centered education and creating creative thinkers. - Karl Fisch
This page includes a sample of my integration projects at the high school and middle school level including grants awarded for integration projects.
T-TESS Support
TTESSandTech.pdfAs an instructional coach, I have been NISD T-TESS trained. This document highlights a variety of 21st Century tools that can help teachers achieve their growth goals.
