Tech Camp for Teachers Summer 2003

Location PDA in Joliet Comments:

  • Awesome week! This was. Hands down, the best, most practical graduate class I have taken. Your website will be such a great resource!

  • It’s unbelievable how much Meg knows! Her ideas are things teachers can use immediately in the classroom. She’s interested in each student as a person.

  • Meg, keep it up! I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the lessons tailored to what we needed! Thank you!

  • Meg. You are awe4some! Loved the whole week! You gave us a great deal of information that we can use directly in to the classroom. Thank you! You have inspired me even more than I was to enhance my teaching and move into the tech field! Amy fifth grade teacher.

  • Excellent class! I learned more here than the computer teacher ever taught me.

  • Excellent! Bubbly personality and realistic goals.

  • Provide one piece of equipment for each table/group or individual so that every person can manipulate a handheld, digital camera etc.

  • This was a great class, I learned so much. You put a spark in me to continue taking tech courses.

  • Meg, Having the Internet sites categorized was the best!! Thank you for allowing us access to your site! What an excellent resource to save time!! I will share the information with others who have “no clue” where to gather data! Loretta “the gifted one”
