Welcome to TechFest!

We are passionate about the use of technology in instruction for so many reasons -- students become more engaged by the judicious integration of technology into the subject matter, technologies are emerging that allow us to facilitate learning outside the classroom in ways we couldn't have imagined just a few years ago, and whether we like it or not, 21st Century technology is upon us -- and we are hoping to share our excitement with you.  Moreover, today's technology is so simple to master that there's no reason not to jump in and see what it can do for you and your students!
 

Keep an eye out for the Green Check Mark . . .
