In order to ensure all students are equipped with digital skills to succeed in the classroom, college and careers, the district expanded access to Learning.com’s EasyTech for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. As director of professional development and teacher support, Adele Thomas ensured teachers had both live and asynchronous professional development opportunities to leverage the breadth and flexibility of EasyTech in their own classrooms and in alignment with their core subjects.
“We navigate between and amongst so many digital platforms, and Learning.com is so simple.”
