August at Teq is a busy month as we work to prepare teachers for the approaching school year with some of our best Online PD courses! No matter your grade or subject level we’ve got something for you! We’re introducing three tracks of courses that will start with an introduction to either Project Based Learning, Digital Storytelling, or Blended Learning.
