Revitalize Your Instruction with New Technology

Do your students look like this?

Maybe they are doing this.

Maybe they think you look like this. ↓

↑Or talk like this guy.

Isn’t there a better way?

What if your students looked like this?

Would you feel like this?

But you have to do a few things.

You say you’ll do anything?

Well, here’s the deal…

I bet we can make that happen!

NO MORE USING THIS OLD TECHNOLOGY!

It’s time for a change.

New technology is coming to the district. We will receive interactive whiteboards, ceiling-mounted projectors, document cameras, new computers, and DVD/VCR players.

There will be three stages of installation and all users must be trained on the new equipment.

It’s time for the 21st Century!

Here’s a little peak at the goods…

And this, this is cool!

How about one more.

“Why in the #&!! are we spending money on that crap?! I’ll never use it.”

Or

“OOOOO… I want that! Can I have that? Plleeeeeaaaaasssssse!!”

Now, you may be saying to yourself…

The new technology has been purchased with bond money.

Research heavily supports technology in the classroom.

Training is after school and your time is compensated.

Here’s the deal…

Why not do something that will improve instructional strategies, engage students, and help children learn?

Come to the trainings. They will be worth it. Your instruction will improve and your students will be engaged.

And the BIGGEST question…

Remember, a class that looks like this…

Helps you to feel like this.

Thank you!!

This was a great class. Have a great rest of the summer.
