New Teacher Orientation
Introduction
I have created this website for those teachers (or in this case, the instructor) that cannot be in attendance for the new teacher/mentor day. You can also use it to review if you have questions after today's training. On this website you will see videos on how to log into the software and an explanation of what software is available to you and setup by the district. There is also pages that you can review that offer additional technology information and other software programs that other teachers use. These applications will be setup by you. If at any time you need assistance please do not hesitate reaching out to me.
