Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the DPS Technology Challenge!

The DPS Technology Challenge is an online independent study program. Teachers work at their own pace to explore, learn, and share a variety of Web tools (like Voki, which appears in this post!).  All of the web sites are accessible from anywhere that you have an Internet connection.

The Challenge will run from June 1, 2011 to August 31, 2011.

Credit will be earned by teachers who accomplish the tasks outlined in the Challenges/Challenge Checklist.

Participating teachers are encouraged to seek out answers to their questions using all resources available including each tool's/web site's help section, other participating teachers, the DPS Educational Technology team (submit a question using the form on the right), and general Internet searches.

The goal of the the technology challenge is to provide a platform for teachers to explore a variety of Web tools and to share their experiences in a fun environment.

The Challenge will be conducted exclusively online and will allow teachers to explore a variety of Web tools and to share their experiences in a fun environment, at their own pace. Participating teachers will also earn technology CEU's (1.0) and, with some luck, win prizes (details to come)!

Posts will appear periodically to keep you up to date!

Feel free to comment and have fun exploring and learning!
