Tuesday Tech Nights: Technology Classes for Parents and Community
There will be separate, required meetings in each of our schools over the next few months - for parent/guardians of district students who will begin using iPads - timed for the various roll-out phases of these devices. Parents should look for this information.
In addition, however, we're pleased to announce that we've begun to develop classes that go above and beyond the basics, providing additional resources and information for those seeking to learn more, and to support our student learners. The following are the first set of free classes open to parents and the community. Additional classes will be added throughout the year based upon interest and need.

Being a Good Digital Citizen

Atomic Learning
Ever in need of just a quick 1-2 minute tutorial on how to do something on your computer? Does your child have a project they need to do in a computer program and you don't know how to use? "Atomic Learning" provides on-demand video tutorials on a variety of computer programs. Come and learn more about the program and how you and your child can put it to use to support learning. Due to product licensing, you must have a current student enrolled in Spring Lake Park Schools.
