Technology Coaches

OCRI's Tech Coaches are a team of young educators and recently retired educators working to help practicing teachers integrate new technologies into the classroom. This low-cost, targeted strategy has had a significant impact on the use of computers in delivering the school curriculum. In addition, it is an outstanding professional development experience for young educators beginning their teaching careers.

The aim is to:

• maximize effective integration of communications technology in K-12 education
• increase communications technology awareness of students and teachers
• help educate teachers on available technology resources
