              • Tech Tip of the Week
              • Tech Coaches and Professional Development specialists are often the ones called upon to be the master encyclopedias of 21st-century learning, but it’s also important to remember that Tech Coaches need professional development themselves … often at a much higher level. It’s important that we support all learning styles in our school district as well as skill levels.
