Southern Berkshire Regional School District - Sheffield, MA

Students of the 21st Century live in a society rich with technology and information.  To prepare our students for productive, responsible, and satisfying future roles, they must consistently experience relevant uses of modern tools for inquiry, problem-solving, research, and communication.  Learning which is supported by technology will improve the richness and efficiency of instruction.  Students must be guided by district staff that model and integrate appropriate applications of technology.

The goal of the Technology Integration Specialist is to provide resources, support, and professional development for teachers to successfully integrate technology into a standards-based curriculum.

I am here for you!  I am open to any ideas you may have for technology in your classroom.  I will also be conducting professional development sessions to help teachers deepen their understanding of integrating technology into their classroom, while earning PDP's.
