= Will You Work For TIPs (Technology Integration Points)? =

TIPs is a district project designed to promote technology integration at the elementary level.

Teachers will share lessons or activities that they have used to integrate technology into the core curriculum.Teachers will implement these lessons or activities with their class and submit them to our TIPs Wiki site for everyone to use.

Teachers may also submit websites that they have used with their classrooms to support curricular goals. Project details: > >
