=__What are ways teachers can get on-going development with the new hot pieces of technology?__=


 * [|ICE Conference]: This is a conference that is held once a year typically in February. Teachers and facilitators typically present about how they were able to take technology and bring it into their schools and classrooms.
 * [|You-Tube Videos]: YouTube is a great resource for training and tools for all things technology. There are great training tools on specific software as well as examples of how teachers are bringing these tools into their classrooms.
 * Students: Even though teachers are supposed to be in the "know" when it comes to leading their classroom, with a lot of this new technology our students, the digital natives, have a lot more experience and interaction with these technologies. Allowing these students to help lead the class or troubleshoot problems is beneficial both to the class as well as to the student.
 * [|iTunes U: STEM Education]: iTunes U is a great resource to other course and training for all levels of education. The segments on STEM education discuss how STEM education is being used in Tennessee.
 * In-House Training: In-House training is always a great option because it allows staff to get training at their convenience. This is a great way to get teachers involved by having them share work the their students have created.
 * College Courses: For those staff that are interested in pursuing their career there is also college courses that specialize in different pieces of technology.
 * Peers: When ever I am lost with a subject or with technology one of the first places I always go is to my peers. Other staff members always look at the same situation in a slightly different perspective and in a lot of case these peers have tried and experimented with technology that may be different from the ways I have tried.
 * [|Google]: Google always seems to be the best place to find an answer when there is no one else to lean on.
