The purpose of this video library is to visually document the exceptional strategies and techniques educational organizations utilize to manage, support and integrate technology into the classroom. Key to these strategies is the exemplary practices in professional development that assists school staff in sustaining the success and momentum of school and district initiatives driven by promising practices in technology use and management. As this library continues to capture such practices, it is eTech Ohio's desire to continue receiving viable examples of effective practice that enhance the building of new infrastructure, advance inquiry in emerging technologies, build the case for technology by proven results in student achievement and promote innovative professional development communities through out the State of Ohio.
"From robotics and thin client technology to gaming and handheld devices, technology inspires teachers and learners in classrooms across Ohio."
