 * Digital Writing **

Today's students are living in a digital world. They need to be able to use technology to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others. You will learn how to use Google Drive, Wikispaces, Glogster, Photostory, and Audacity to accomplish this goal in a way that is fun and engaging for students. This PD is intended for teachers of grade levels 4-12+, but may adapted for younger students.
