Awaken Learning

Professional Development Resources for Edtech

Welcome

This page is a collection of training materials and guides developed specifically for the staff of Southwest Parke Community Schools, but I hope they will be helpful to others as well! The intention is to help you AWAKEN LEARNING for your students - making it engaging and relevant for the 21st century.

❗️It is super hard to keep up with all of the changes and updates made to these programs constantly (while doing the rest of my job) and some of these resources were created several years ago. If you find anything outdated in a course, please email me!
