This two-day, non-credit Summer Institute (presented on July 4/5 and again on August 29/30) is designed for beginning through advanced users of Interactive White Boards (SMART Boards). Teachers will work on developing literacies, lessons, and learning strategies that can be used in the first weeks of school. Your experiences will focus on teaching lessons that engage students in active learning in many curriculum areas. The Institute student/instructor ratio will be approximately ten-to-one. Come collaborate with others teaching with SMART Boards. Register early to guarantee your spot.
