Hi All,

I wanted to share with you a couple of courses UVM will be offering
online this fall, Differentiated Instruction with Technology and
Inquiry-based Learning & Technology.  Tim Fox is the faculty for
Differentiated Instruction with Technology, and Joyce Morris is the

are below.

These are great courses for teachers that want to integrate 21st  
century technology tools into their classroom instruction.
