As we continue to guide our students down the road of success, please click on the request support link located within my signature line if you would like support with integrating technology tools (i.e. Interactive Board, iPad, Chromebook, Web 2.0 Resources) within your lessons. I look forward to the endless possibilities that the collaboration and integration of technology will provide us with reaching all of our learners.
