Testimonials
“[Our tech consultant] was able to take the project ideas I developed and extract the relatable information then frame it in language that made it easy for teachers to make the connections between the technology project and their teaching goals. In it he included the NYS teaching standards as well as the ITSE’s NETS standards, which allowed me to see how the projects I created were in line with current technology standards and State education as well.”
