Model Schools TIES
Model Schools 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.
