**Free Online Teaching Tools!**
Hands-On Workshop

Free tools available today make it easier for teachers to move from a paper-based learning to a technology-enhanced learning experience. Incorporating online resources into instruction, teachers will learn step-by-step how to start and implement a technology-enhanced and engaging learning environment utilizing Project Based Learning (PBL) principles. Workshop participants will learn strategies that they can use with students in elementary, middle, and high schools to capture text and pictures in a web format in any discipline. This will enhance research skills, promote collaboration, and even communicate with parents. Gail Braddock, [|Briarcrest] Christian School (TN), presenter LGBraddock@briarcrest.com
