Planning Meeting

FALL 2021 TECHNOLOGY SESSIONS
These sessions are for Rural Teacher Corps Members and New Teachers (others are welcome is space allows). These technology sessions are designed to provide a brief overview helping introduce how to use an instructional service or tool. Most sessions are how-to-use with an opportunity to try it and ask questions. These are designed as 50 minute Zoom sessions, led by RSI staff and practicing educators who have experience using the tool.
