U-Tech - University of TECHnology - is technology training for all El Paso ISD teachers and campus administrators. It was created in response to Texas state and federal (TEA, SBEC and NCLB Title II-D) requirements that call for specific number of hours of technology training to be completed yearly by all campus professionals. Teachers enrolled in the Podcasting major spend 25 hours in class, and almost as many hours outside of class recording and editing their educational video podcasts.
