How We Use Technology in Our Classrooms at Edmonton Public Schools

On Jan. 30, 2012 our Technology Implementation Planning Services Team lead a Community of Practice Day for many of our lead technology teachers and principals in EPSB. Throughout the day, people were tweeting about new teaching strategies they are using or would like to try out.
