Introducing CAT 2.0! | INFOhio’s Core Collection and a Thanksgiving WebQuest | TRAILS

INFOhio's fall 2009 series of 60-minute, interactive video conference professional development workshops is for teachers, librarians, curriculum coordinators, guidance counselors and technology coordinators. Librarians are encouraged to organize a group of participants with computers at their sites, as there will be hands-on activities in most of these presentations. CEU certificates will be provided. This connection is for ATM sites.

To schedule a video conference, e-mail IVDLorders@laca.org with your contact information, video conference contact person, site name, name of their equipment and/or an external IP address if your unit is not in the TC reliance system at eTech Ohio. Or, use the Site Registration Form for the appropriate session. Deadline to register: Three days prior to each session
