Custom Professional Development

Our first priority here at ITSCO is to deliver professional development that meets the needs of educators. ITSCO consultants are available to meet with you, school committees, and others that might be involved in the professional development to assess needs and build a training plan that will benefit those involved. Contact an ITSCO consultant to build your own professional development experience.

For additional information about any of our workshops, please call 614-247-8400 or 800-398-7675.

"Just Getting Started" Workshops

Participants who complete these courses will come away with a deep understanding of how to use a specific educational technology and ideas for integrating the technology into their curricular area in support of student learning and achievement. Possible workshop topics include integrating technology using Microsoft Office suite, Internet, Digital Editing, Graphic Organizers, Interactive Whiteboard and more. As always, ITSCO will customize a workshop on any topic to meet your needs.
