Has your district integrated Chromebooks, Laptops,  iPads and Mobile devices? Is more work being done online? Is your school implementing 1:1?

Schools are investing in new technology to help improve and enhance student achievement. With the Common Core standards, educators need to ensure that students can demonstrate what they know, and not just say they know it. When implemented properly, these technologies can produce significant gains by boosting engagement with interactive learning especially with at-risk students.

That’s why Fitchburg State offers courses just for teachers. We help you figure ways to best implement and use technology in your classroom to help your students explore and create.
