Learning First, Technology Second Recruitment Session: If you have colleagues in your district who operate as instructional technology specialists, coaches or professional developers, we invite them to participate in a special learning community comprised of like-minded individuals from across the region. Our “Learning First, Technology Second” PLC is going into our eighth year, and we have scheduled our “Information/Recruitment” session on Tuesday, September 23.  

LHRIC's Educational Technology and Technical Teams are pleased to announce a Tech Update Briefing Series. This year-long series is your district's direct line to expert analysis on the most significant platform changes in Google, Microsoft and Zoom. During these periodic briefings, we hope to demystify updates, highlight key new features and settings, address any security issues or changes, and provide the combined expertise of our technical and instructional specialists covering both the “how -to” and the “why”. Register for our first Tech Briefing for Google on October 1. 

Our Annual CS/STEAM Playdate Series kicks off October 8! Last year, we had over 70+ Computer Science/STEAM teachers and library media specialists join for hands on exploration and discussion of best practices in CS and STEAM instruction. This year, we are pleased to expand the CS/STEAM Playdate series to include: 

  • Grand Kickoff, October 8 
  • CS/STEAM “Masterclass” Course (K-8), November 13 
  • Lego “Purpose of Powerful Play, December 4 

Register for any or all three and please feel free to share with your computer science and STEAM coordinators and instructors.
