What is TTL?

The Governors Academy for Technology in Teaching and Learning is a professional development opportunity for South Dakota's K-12 Educators.  The Academy is a month long summer seminar that provides participating teachers with skills necessary to effectively use technology as a teaching and learning tool.

During the academy, participants enhance their technology skills in the context of professional practice so as to accomplish meaningful integration of technology into teaching and learning based on identified best practices.  The academy is designed with a primary focus on the collaborative design of meaningful learning experiences, through creation of technology infused study units that are implemented in the participants' classrooms during the school term following academy participation.
