The ACES (Mike McPhail for LPHS teachers) will be offering incentives for instructors interested in taking the Intel "Teach to the Future" training during the summer. Dates will be July 12 - 16. Any interested teacher will gain a tremendous insight into incorporating technology into the usual curriculum within your classroom. In addition, you will receive 20 hours of both curricular and technology credit. You will also be issued a Palm Zire 70 and a 128 mb flash drive. The course requires 40 hours of training time and will be done on regular intervals. Approximately 100 teachers, throughout the district, will be trained using this system of integration tools and techniques. Each ACES will be required to train 10 instructors. Your trainer may be any one of the 11 ACES.
