Texas has been awarded a grant from the Verizon Foundation to support Texas teachers to use the resources in Thinkfinity’s free online portal: http://www.thinkfinity.org . The goal of TCEA Thinkfinity Partner Program is to provide quality professional development to educators across the state so that they can locate and use Thinkfinity’s expert resources, such as online applets and tools, lesson plans, and educational web sites, and so they can properly integrate such technology-based resources into the curriculum to enhance student learning.
Educators can take full advantage of becoming a Thinkfinity Field
Trainer. Benefits of being a Field Trainer include:
- Deliver End-User Thinkfinity training to your school or district
- Be a part of an elite team of highly qualified certified trainers
- Receive CPE credits for the training sessions you attend
