This document outlines a professional development initiative called "Tech Time" to help teachers become more comfortable integrating technology into their classrooms. It will involve bi-monthly instructional sessions over Canvas, an online learning management system, to introduce tools like Canvas, Planbook, Kahoot, and ReadTheory. The goals are to address teachers' concerns that technology takes too much time and is overwhelming by providing a structured learning environment and ongoing technical support through online video tutorials and discussion boards. This long-term initiative aims to build teachers' technology skills and showcase how tools can enhance lesson planning, assessment, collaboration, and student engagement.
