Introduction

There are many things to be considered when using a web 2.0 tool with students. One must read the terms of use to discover if using the tool adheres to the policies set up by Carroll County Public Schools as well as know the best practices when implementing the application in the classroom. Fortunately the Department of Curriculum and Instruction has a process in place to approve tools and help teachers learn the best practices when using them.

This tutorial will provide an introduction to the Instructional Technology SIte  as well as a step by step guide which demonstrated how you can have a new tool or resource approved through the Tech Request System.
