TCMS Techo Expo

TCMS Techo Expo

On January 5, 2015, Thomas County Upper Elementary and Thomas County Middle School held its second annual “Techno Expo.” On this professional learning day, teachers attended sessions in order to learn how to integrate technology into their classrooms.  The sessions were conducted by teachers from TCUE/TCMS, Cross Creek Elementary and Thomas County Central High School.  Sessions included strategies on the use of Quizlet, Plickers, Kahoots, paperless assessment, posting instructional videos to teacher webpages, Turn It In, creating and using QR codes, and how to find information using GALILEO. Presentations also included instructional strategies such as Close Reading and Formative Assessment. Melvin Hugans, TCUE assistant principal, organized the event for the second year.  “It is important to remember that integrating technology into instruction is only one aspect of the learning process. Technology cannot be a substitute for well-trained teachers. However, this event allowed teachers in our system to share their knowledge of various instructional technology tools so that fellow educators will be able to use more engaging strategies during instructional opportunities,” says Hugans. The event was open to all teachers in the Thomas County System.
