What is iTech??

We started a program at Maine West called iTech over a year ago.
The Vision:
-iTech is designed to assist teachers in infusing technology into their curriculum for the purpose of engaging and enhancing student learning.
-Create a core group of “teacher experts/coaches” to assist other department members.
The Goals:
-To train teachers in using different hardware and software products.
-To assist teachers in developing technology infused lessons.
The Strategies:
-Instruct teachers how to use different technologies.
-Provide articles and resources on integrating technology.
-Provide hands on learning for teachers.
-Present and share new knowledge and lessons in various settings.

We have divided the participants into two groups.....a beginner and an intermediate group.

Here are some of the topics that we discussed during our March session.
