On the 2023-24 Tech Thursdays, we will continue to advance our knowledge through sessions on Canvas, ChatGPT, and ways to support English as a Second Language. We will also look into Artificial Intelligence, Data Investigation & PBL, and Coding (in SNAP and other platforms.) To maintain our Common Sense Media certification, all staff will also complete training on digital citizenship and protecting student privacy. Let our team know if there is a topic that interests you!
