NEW in the TEACHER'S CHAT ROOM

Inside the Teacher's Web we host the ongoing training activities for teachers that are a standard activity for all teachers (and are a required activity for CSU stipend teachers).
This is YOUR place to learn, experiment, and test your skills. This week, on Tuesday, we are shifting from the Image Upload exercise to the GPS/GIS training module. November will be our preparation month to create a GPS lesson plan, and December will be our posting month to share those lesson plans. Please join us !
