Model Schools TIES

Model Schools Technology Integration Exchange Sessions (TIES) provides a forum for instructional technology specialists in the Central New York region to share best-practices for technology integration tools and teaching strategies with the goal of transforming teaching to meet the needs of 21st century learners.

The target audience includes teachers, teaching assistants, and/or administrators who are charged with supporting a district’s technology integration goals. The group will share technology tools, teaching strategies, and innovative approaches to technology integration. Instructional Technologists will, in turn, help support teachers’ curricular initiatives through technology integration.

The Model Schools Coordinator at the CNYRIC will schedule and publicize face-to-face meetings (video conferencing option available) and will establish a wiki website and listserv to facilitate communication among a professional learning community of technology integration experts throughout the region.
