AoP Tech, in partnership with the Connelly Foundation, is pleased to present the 2020 Elementary Virtual Technology Academy.
The Elementary Tech Academy seeks to empower educators to engage, enhance, and extend classroom curriculum for the benefit of all learners. This program allows educators to participate in professional, differentiated learning to explore how technology can be utilized as a resource to support student achievement. Attendees will participate in hands-on learning experiences and standards aligned pedagogical lessons, as well as, take ownership of their learning through elective sessions - all modeling a classroom experience to take back to their school communities.
