=Batesville School District= =Tech Tuesdays=

The goal of Tech Tuesdays is to provide personalized technology related professional development for District educators.

Tech Tuesdays are not geared to a particular grade level, but topics will be of interest to participants across the curriculum for grades K-12. Meetings will be held after school on two campuses, Eagle Mountain Magnet and Batesville High School in the library media center. One week the meeting will two held on one campus with the next week the training to be conducted at the other campus. The same topic will be shared for two weeks in a row, depending on interest, throughout the school year.

The meeting format will involve the presenter briefly introducing, demonstrating the topic or piece of equipment, and then, allowing participants time to explore. Throughout the training, the presenter will be available to provide guidance and help as participants practice using the particular tool or equipment. The goal is for participants to leave the session feeling confident enough with the tool or piece of equipment to begin implementation immediately in the classroom.

Following examples of what we know as good teaching for deeper understanding, we will look at one topic briefly first, thus allowIng participants to spend the majority of the session becoming comfortable with the tool or equipment as well as learning ways to implement it into their own classroom. For example, when we are learning more about iPads, we will focus on only one app to explore. This strategy will enable participants to gain the necessary confidence in using the app in their classroom to help increase student learning.

This site will serve as a database of information related to the Tech Tuesdays topics including a calendar of events and topics, resources, and sign up information.

Happy Learning!
