Teacher's P.D.
Software Gift Basket (freeware & shareware)
Free programs that will enhance your teaching and make computer management easier, I use them all the time and your staff will too. We'll install the programs from CD onto your staff's computers and show them how to use them. These programs are great for creating eWorksheets and training aids, computer wrangling and capturing students imagination.
This is a great workshop for teachers wanting to get a little more functionality out of their computers and make life easier.
