Technology Applications Teacher Network (TATN) Event Moved to TCEA Area 12 Conference on November 12

The Technology Applications (K-12) Teacher Network Event will be combined with the TCEA Area 12 Conference and moved to November 12, 2005 at Connally High School at 900 North Lacy in Waco, Texas.

According to NCLB, all districts must fully integrate technology into the curricula and instruction in all schools by December 31, 2006 to enhance teaching and learning. In addition, according to Senate Bill (SB) 815 Technology Applications is now a “required” curriculum and all school districts, as a condition of accreditation, must provide instruction in the Technology Applications TEKS.

This event modeled after the TATN event held at the TCEA State Convention in February provides an opportunity for teachers to gather ideas from model teachers in the region on how to effectively integrate the Tech Apps TEKS.

This event will offer four different sessions in each of three strands: K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. Eight different sessions will be offered in the 9-12 high school tech apps courses.

"We are looking for classroom teachers who are doing an outstanding job implementing the Tech Apps TEKS in their classroom to present at these sessions. They will be paid a stipend of $50 for their participation as presenters, " says Lisa McCray.

If you are integrating Technology Applications into your classroom and would be willing to present a session at this great event, there is still time. Please email Lisa McCray by October 24.
