Digital Innovation

As we all know, education is changing and so are our students.  As the Digital Innovation Team at Region 12, we enjoy helping educators create and design innovative learning experiences for our students.  It is our priority to provide engaging professional development that will prepare teachers to integrate technology and implement innovation in the classroom.

Because of the technology that is available for today's classrooms, we have unique opportunities to do things that have never been done.  We are able to give our students real life experiences resulting in opportunities to make connections to the standards.  In doing so, we create learning that is not only relevant, but also engaging.  

Please feel free to email or call if you have any questions at all.  The Digital Innovation Team is available to offer instructional coaching as well as training/workshops for your district.  We look forward to working with you and bringing digital innovation to Region 12!
