Welcome to the Somers Tech Integration Site The following is a quote from our district technology plan: “The world is increasingly reliant on technology for communication, work, and leisure, and the pace of change in these technologies and the ways in which they are used is accelerating. Educational systems, such as the Somers Public Schools, must respond to these changing conditions to ensure that every graduate can compete in a world that requires changing sets of skills and competencies, including mastery of a variety of technologies. Responding to the rapid pace of change is not a choice we make but an obligation we must fulfill to assure our students are prepared for a different world.”

The purpose of this site is to provide professional development and 21st century classroom resources for busy classroom teachers. We have tried to present the material in a quick and easy format so that teachers can take away just what they need in a efficient manner. This wiki is organized by individual topics, represented by pages in the navigation bar on the left side of this screen. Click the topic you are interested in to see the materials related to that subject.

I would be interested in your feedback and suggestions for any additional topics that should be included.
