Welcome to the FWSU Technology Institute!

This website gives our course an online home with all the needed information about the course as well as links to various resources we will be using throughout the week.  This is our third year offering the institute and we have designed elements to address the needs of returning partipants as well as new participants. The first level of the course is officially titled 21st Century Tools In Practice and the second level is titled Leading 21st Century Tools In Practice. Both courses share the same schedule and workshops, but have different outcomes and products.
