Instructional Technology classes are categorized into 3 levels:

“Implement” classes are our most basic. They are designed to introduce our core tools and methods, and help you get started with the digital conversion of your classroom. They are appropriate for teachers who are new to Bend La Pine and iPads, or for those that want to learn a new tool or refresh their memory as to how something works. They are a great place to start!

“Integrate” classes are intermediate level. They are designed for teachers who are ready to weave more technology throughout their curriculum using both basic implementation tools, plus others. They are appropriate for all teachers, however, we do encourage basic familiarity with concepts and core tools of digital conversion (such as workflow management and iPad use.)

“Innovate” classes are most advanced. These courses explore new and emerging tools and technologies, and ways that teachers can truly start to modify and redesign their classroom instruction to incorporate the 21st Century Skills of Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication and Collaboration. Though we encourage all teachers to participate in these opportunities basic competency with implementation and integration would be helpful.
