InstructionalTech

 This is the page where you can share the "tools" that you have discovered which can impact student learning.

We are hoping you can add at the top of the page overviews of professional training you have attended relative to the implementation of a specific piece of hardware of software. The bottom of the page is where you can share other resources (links, book titles, videos, etc) related to instructional technology.
