Tech Tools Odyssey was designed to encourage educators to explore the vast landscape of technology tools available to enhance and support innovative classroom practices.
Region 13's Tech Odyssey is anchored in the Technology Applications TEKS and based on the knowledge and needs of the participants. Learner choice and voice are encouraged and supported via self guided exploration, collaboration, and creation time.
