What's new in Technology... ORR School Districts Technology Courses

The ORR School District will continue to provide professional development opportunities in the area of technology via "Technology Courses". Many staff members have participated and have found the courses benefit their teaching by infusing current technology.
We are very interested in offering courses tailored to your interest. Please contact us to let us know what you would like to see offered.
Information related to our current course offerings as well as Blog topic on technology and Tech Talks by teachers can be found below. Please view our Tech Camp Workshops tab above to see what has been offered in the past...
