Welcome to "Into the Classroom!"
Here you will find examples of classroom
technology integration best practices taking place in the schools of
Fayette County. Since classes began only two weeks ago, new examples

by the Office
of Educational Technology (a list is at right,
with links to their support websites). Let us know how we can help!
