The WGTE Educational Resource Center (ERC) provides schools with services and educational materials which embrace 21st century learning skills and enhance teaching and learning across the curriculum. Our programs go beyond the “plug and play” of traditional technology training and focus on effective integration strategies, hands-on interaction with technology and alignment to Ohio Academic Content Standards.
Contact hour certificates provided for all classes. Graduate credit is available at a special rate through Lourdes College. For more information, contact the ERC at erc@wgte.org 419-380-4633.
