Elementary School Technology Instructor Reference

Welcome the Instructor reference page.  This page will (hopefully) be the one-stop location for information.

Each class has links to support material (PDF, Google Docs).  All documents are stored on Google Drive.

Parents are expected to help lead classes at least one session, but hopefully you will spend some time with your children and see how they grown using technology.
​
All parent volunteers must fill out a background check.
