Technology Tools

Allowing teachers to choose gadgets and technology to create an engaging experience and innovative outlets for students. Teachers have requested and gathered innovative tools to design meaningful work and engaging opportunities for students. We have placed technology in the hands of teachers and classrooms. Some of the examples are pictured below.

3D DAY: DALTON DIFFERENCE DAY

Technology conferences take place all over the world. DPS has sent teachers and staff to these conferences. 3D Day is our district's technology conference where teachers and staff can showcase work, teach sessions on best practices and experience technology and equipment. This district professional development day allows our educators to be both teacher and learner as they present the knowledge and practices they've learned from other conferences and gain knowledge from others.
