Join Microsoft each week to get practical tips and information on how to use Microsoft products and technologies in the classroom. Each Webcast is a 40- to 45-minute presentation and demo with a live question and answer session at the end.
Teacher Tech Tuesday is designed to address the challenges educators face in teaching technology students. It takes time and preparation to keep students engaged while giving them a fundamental understanding of theory, to provide labs and assignments that inspire innovation and to integrate professional tools and skills that will prepare students for successful careers.
