Check out the Ed Tech Website

Last year, our Ed Tech team set out with the mission to improve our department's web presence. Our goal was to provide a location where teachers could find the support and resources they need to successfully integrate technology into their daily lesson plan design.

Last spring, after several revisions, we launched our newest Ed Tech Website design!

On our website you will find the following:

• Team bios
• Our blog
• @JeffcoEdTech on Twitter
• Ed Tech Resources
• Professional development

The resources button might just be our favorite section of the Ed Tech website! It is here that you will find access to a variety of different resources to help you get started using technology in your classroom! 

The resources section is organized in two ways: 

• By Skill
• At the top of the resources page, you will see 4 buttons: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. Hover over each of these buttons to get a description of how these strands connect technology and education. By clicking on the button, you will be directed to a webpage that provides inspiration and tools to help you embed these technology strands into your classroom instruction. 

• By Topic:
• Underneath the 4 buttons listed above, you will see a variety of dark blue buttons by topic. If you are searching for a tool or specific piece of information, this is the place to look. 

When you visit a page on a specific tool, you will receive a description of that tool, why you would use it, how you can get started, and additional resources (links, presentations, and videos) to help you get started using the tool in your instruction! 

We hope you find the new Ed Tech Website helpful in successfully integrating technology in the classroom. If you have an idea about something you'd like to see on our website, please leave us a comment!
