USDA Distance Learning and Technology Grant Update - The $998,316 grant provided distance learning equipment, which was installed in the spring and is being used. Each classroom received a Viewsonic interactive learning panel and a distance learning Poly Studio bundle that allows students and teachers to participate in distance learning opportunities, such as professional learning sessions, district team meetings, museum tours, college and career advising sessions, and much more! A large panel display and portable speaker system for larger events were also included in the grant. Teachers will receive professional learning on the Viewsonic interactive panels next week during our Instructional Strategies Institute.
