All K-5 teachers have been tasked with keeping a teacher technology portfolio each 9 weeks marking period. Some great questions have come about as a result. Attached you will find two documents that will assist you in your quest for completion of the portfolio. The first is a handout created by David Clough, a fellow ITRT. It will let you know the capabilities of 10 of our most popular programs. The second document is a program list that mirrors the teacher documentation form. Here you will find a list of each program that can be used to fulfill requirements listed on the documentation page, a ‘Cheat Sheet’ if you will. Please feel free to share these documents with your teammates and friends from other HCPS schools.
