Teaching with Technology Program Information

Calling All Teachers!

Would you like to use technology more effectively in your teaching? Do you want to see what innovative teachers in your subject are doing with technology? Would you like to spend a day or more building skills and curriculum in a supportive hands-on setting? The opportunity for all this is coming in June at the Teaching with Technology program of the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools Summer Technology Conference.

CAIS created the Teaching with Technology program to provide participants with inspirational ideas, sound pedagogical techniques and appropriate technological skills that will enhance their teaching and their students' learning. If these things are important to you then mark your calendar today!
