TCEA is giving out free memberships this week only to all staff members. What is TCEA? TCEA is a member-based organization devoted to advancing technology in education. Our primary focus
is on integrating technology into the PreK-16 environment and providing our members with state-of-the-art information through conferences, workshops, newsletters, the internet, and collaborations with businesses and institutions of higher learning.
I love all things TCEA- they have a fantastic community of professionals you can connect with, watch on demand trainings, attend webinars during your lunch hour and SO MUCH MORE. The best part is that if you are already a member
