Tech Tip Tuesday (August 22, 2023)

Back to school to prove that I'm not a fool!

Or something like that.

Hope everyone had a restful summer spent with their loved ones and time away from technology! I always enjoy the clamshell of the laptop being closed and keeping screens away whenever I can.

For those that don't know me, my name is Brian Krause, and I am an instructional technology coach from Learning Technology Center of Illinois working with teachers in FSD145 for the coming school year!

I'm here to help with any of your curricular needs & wants to help improve instruction for your students and for you to feel successful daily using technology in the classroom!

Bring me into your classroom to plan, co-teach, or give quick feedback!

Want to know when I'll be in your building when I'm in the district? See here!
