This is a technology presentation geared directly to the classroom teacher.

This presentation is meant for the teacher who loves technology as well as the teacher who hates technology.

This presentation will even be helpful to the teacher who is afraid of technology.

The most important goal of this presentation is to give your teachers the ability to collaborate even when they don't have the opportunity to meet together on a regular basis.

This presentation will give teachers tools and will not attempt to teach teachers how to teach. (say that ten times fast)
