Nine educators from Cabarrus County learned through hands-on activities how to use today’s digital technology to increase student achievement in the classroom during four days at North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT), a national leader in professional development for teachers.

“It has been an amazing week for the nine of us,” said Cabarrus County Instructional Technology Coordinator Patti Freeman. “Even though this group is very tech savvy these were some new concepts for us and gave us things to take back and use in all our schools.”
