This document summarizes the Technology Integration Mentor Academy (TIMAC) program at Baldwin Park Adult and Community Education. It discusses how TIMAC laid the foundation for integrating technology into teaching by identifying 12 competencies. It then describes how a mentor worked with an instructor, Debbie Jensen, to create a class website and discussion board with various interactive activities to reinforce classroom lessons. The project was presented to other teachers and was well received. The goal is to expand technology integration and mentoring across different subject areas over the next 5 years.
