Welcome!

Greetings, SMBSD Friends!

Welcome to "All Tech-gether Now," a place for you to visit and chat about technology as it relates to teaching and learning in your classrooms. Our goal is to post a techie tidbit each week. Please let us know whether you find this space useful, and feel free to piggyback on our posts with your own technology experiences. The more we share, the more we learn; so newbies and experts alike, ask about--or tell us how--your SMARTboards, iPads, Chromebooks, PCs, laptops, smart phones (and any other fabulous technology you have) are transforming your classrooms!

We encourage you to add comments and questions to the posts you find interesting.
