As a way of encouraging technology integration into teacher practice, the Educational Technology Department will again be holding a drawing in February. Each Granite teacher who participates in the February 17th Twitter chat will have their name placed in a drawing where they will have the chance at winning 6 Chromebooks for their classroom.
