DuPage One: Connect, Collaborate and Share A double session in which you will learn about DuPage One, an on-line service coming soon to your district. Imagine being only a click away from your districts media resources or a keyword search from a huge repository of lessons, created by teachers in your district and throughout DuPage county. DuPage One will be the central location for media, lesson plans/projects and professional development. We’ll discuss not only how to navigate the service, but how you can connect, collaborate and share with teachers from across the county. Most of the session will focus on hands-on projects, lessons you can use during the school year. Below are a few specific projects we’ll share and create together.
