In addition, underneath the calendar there is a session summary document with the dates listed for all sessions.



You can also use Strive in Eduphoria to search for PD courses, it tends to be easier to navigate and filter compared to Workshop in Eduphoria.



What can you LEARN?
At iCamp we don't want to just introduce you to a bunch of resources, we want to help you understand the best way to use and implement them. Not only do we focus on things like Canvas, Google, Chromebooks, O365, and iPads but you'll also get plenty of soft skill instruction on using these tools for classroom management, fostering growth mindset, backward design for lesson planning and more! Our lessons are always anchored in a solid pedagogical foundation and we have numerous instructors from all over the district that fill many roles, so we have something for everyone!

We’ve added back the Microsoft Academy (face to face and online) this year and we have two new workshop experiences – Minecraft for Education and Gamification! We are also highlighting SMART Suite Online this summer.


Head on over the Secondary CTD website to learn more and see a list of sessions being offered.
