I hope you are off enjoying some well deserved summer fun!!
Back at the District we are gearing up for some great Graduate level Courses from Eduspire during the next two weeks.
The iPads in Education course from Eduspire started today in Hershey. We are super excited to be hosting this course however it is full for this session. Bill Gates will be instructing. Two DTSD peeps will be his official assistants; Tara Valoczki, Instructional Coach for Technology and Christen Manari a third grade teacher. I will also be there everyday helping out as a DTSD representative. We are super excited, I know many DTSD teachers will be there. However, never fear if you didn't get to take the course this summer, I am working with the good people at Eduspire to bring the course back in the Fall and Spring.
Next week we will be hosting The Institute on Using Technology to Personalizing Learning. This course is still open if you are interested. Our own Jeff Mummert will be teaching one day of the Institute.
Enjoy!
