Tech Coaches!

Did you know that you can get free educational videos at www.izzit.org ? These videos are actual discs that, when used on a computer, come with teacher tools such as activities and suggested lesson plans. One video/teacher/year free.

Some coaches have set up a Google Doc (Spreadsheet)for their school with the teacher name, video ordered, and department. I asked teachers to each order one, fill out the google Doc to make sure that they were not duplicating another's order, and then we will have a (hopefully) complete set in our LMC...

Team content (that is, pages and files) are grouped together, separate from the main area of the wiki. That way, students in teams can do their group work completely independently from other teams.
