What New in Computers at GECDSB?

Summer Institutes

Last summer, a very ambitious and successful Summer Institute program provided Greater Essex County teachers the opportunity to refine their computer skills by participating in computer workshops in the day before going for a swim or a round of golf.

The same opportunity will be offered again this summer. There are a number of teachers who wish to share some of their skills and success with others. The list of offerings appears below. The formal booklet (bright yellow) outlining these in more detail is available in your school.

All of the workshops are offered free of charge. Registration is through Carol Edmondson in the Program Department.
