Welcome to Rodney McPherson's OnCourse webpage! As the Union Parish School District's Connected Technology Facilitator, my primary focus is to enable and support teachers in the use of technology in their classroom curriculum. To accomplish this, I am organizing trainings, technology classes, and site visits. While at the schools, I will be glad to aid in planning, creation of, demonstration, or modeling of technology infused lessons.
Please contact me to help in technology integration whenever you wish. My e-mails are: [email protected] and [email protected] or call me at 368 9715, ext. 148.
I strive for the integration of technology in classroom lessons, especially where it is called for by the Common Core and 21st Century Skills. The more that you can enrich your classroom through technology and other resources, the more you will hold your student's attention and with their attention and participation, they will increase their content area comprehension.
Our Connected Technology focus for the 2017 - 2018 school year is the integration of SMART and Mimio/Elmo interactive learning stations into as many of our classrooms as possible, widespread use of the Worldbook Online suite,Discovery Education, and iSafe. If anyone in or district has a question concerning the hardware or software associated with these systems, please contact me. We feel that these programs can bring classrooms to life.
