Summer is almost here! It’s a great time to relax, recharge and yes, even level up your technology proficiency. While Tech Tips Tuesday is going on our annual break, we wanted to leave you with some summer professional development opportunities.
Remember, all Northern Buckeye/NWOCA trainings are included with membership at no additional cost. You also have access to our archive of webinars, class materials, and other PD resources. Our training website at training.nwoca.org has all of these and more. If you’re unsure if your district is a member, check out the list on our website.
If you need personalized help over the summer, feel free to take advantage of our virtual tech coaching. We can diagnose an issue or help teach you something new.
From all of us at Northern Buckeye, have a wonderful summer!

The NWOCA Road Show is a series of professional development events featuring “pick-your-own-PD”-style learning. There are a variety of topics, including G Suite for Education, BreakoutEDU, STEAM and STEM, as well as other subjects that teachers will find beneficial. Sessions are led by NWOCA Instructional Services staff, as well as other local educators.
Road Show events are FREE and open to all educators in Ohio. Please join us for a great day of learning at one of our Road Show stops!
