Student technology assistants serve as a great resource to our school assisting students and teachers in labs and classrooms. They learn about blogging, podcasting, networking, video broadcasting, databases, workstation setup, video presentations, webpage design, digital photography and digital video editing and creation.

Technology Training

Teachers:

  • Independent Study Credit can be coordinated with the CIT for many of the areas linked below or for individual class projects.
  • See the CIT if you need help with technology integration for your class/department or if you would like to create a project. Coordination of technology integration in your classroom can be added to your PDAS notes for consideration on evaluations.
  • Individual or group training sessions can be coordinated with the CIT.
