Integrating Technology PreK-12 Workshops
ASSET/Eight Workshops – Workshops Available at no Charge!
ASSET continues to provide districts and schools with a host of
workshops for the classroom educator and parent community.
We can provide hands-on workshops in a computer lab for 1
hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or any customized timeframe you may
have. If you do not have a computer lab available, ASSET will
even provide whole group presentations. There is also the
option of scheduling a workshop and utilizing the ASSET computer
lab.
The focus of an ASSET/Eight workshop will be the integration of
technology including PBS web resources and on air programming
into the classroom. An ASSET workshop can meet the needs of
any grade level and subject from Pre-K through 12th grade.
Grade levels and subject area specialists can be combined
in the same workshop, or the workshop can specialize and focus
on specific areas, according to the district/school needs
and goals.
