**What is the role of the technology coach?**
On this page, you will find a plethora of information and resources for you to include into your lessons. Please remember, it is our job to help you incorporate new technologies into your curriculum, so please let us know how we can help you! If you see anything on this page or any links that interest you, let us know! We can help you implement it into your classroom.

**What are some ways we can help you?**

 * ** Generate Ideas and Curriculum Connections --**Not sure where to start? Invite us into your classroom just to watch you teach. This will get "the wheels turning" and we can begin to identify technologies that will fit your teaching style and connect with your curriculum.
 *  **Co-Plan--** L et us help you plan lessons that incorporate technology. If you're not sure how technology might benefit your students or enhance a lesson, we can do the research and bring you some suggestions. We can help you identify what will work, help you learn how to use it, and then help set up a lesson.
