TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

TUTORIALS

 Please navigate to the tools below to continue your technology integration journey in the classroom.

These tools were introduced as part of our remote and hybrid learning with Gryphonline 2020 and should become a part of your regular teaching practice to create more equitable experiences for students in your classes.

The tutorials will provide both written instructions and visual aids, and in some cases, videos. For reference, you can navigate to the MOD 6 2020 TOOLBOXES PRESENTATION for idea generation, the AUGUST 2020 NEARPOD + MIRO training for reference, and this FAQ - YOU ASKED. WE ANSWERED.

Don't forget to remind yourself of the CSW Technology Values statement.
