Tech Tips
As we settle into the second half of the school year, it's a great time to be innovative with your students. One of the best ways to be creative and exciting with your students is to teach them the value of connecting with others and collaborating on digital projects. One potential project might involve video conferencing with another class. There are several great applications available for platforms of all kinds to help your students become safe, digital citizens.
