Each quarter or so, an educational technology challenge that utilizes free technology tools to support your teaching will be introduced.
This a self-paced technology integration program specifically designed for WCS educators. The learning challenges are entirely voluntary, have no expiration date, and can be completed at your own pace. So if you feel inclined to complete any of the challenges weeks or months (or even a season!) after they’ve ended, that’s okay. The point is to at least try something new that could potentially be introduced into your curriculum. The learning challenges may not apply to everyone. Some teachers will have already acquired a skill presented in a monthly challenge. (Good for you!) If this applies to you, I ask that you offer your expertise and support to your colleagues who have accepted the challenge. Please reach out! You are not alone. I’m always available for some one-on-one assistance if you need it. |

The TeamWICK monthly edtech challenge is a combination of ideas culled from integration specialists, inspired educators,
and instructional coaches, most notably A.J. Juliani and Todd Nelsoney.
