Do your students need help using eConestoga or Zoom? Do they need to collaborate online effectively using Office 365 tools? Teach Me Tech Services, a part of Conestoga’s Library Services, supports students, faculty and staff as they seek to improve their digital skills and abilities in the use of technologies. Read on to learn about our various services and supports.

You, and your students, can get instant support with common tech questions using our How-To Tech Assistance instant chat service, or by booking a more in-depth consultation with a Tech Representative.
Here are some examples of what we can assist with:
*Similar to other tutoring supports, this service provides coaching, rather than quick answers. We aim to help students gain the confidence to find answers and solve problems independently in the future.

Refer your students to one of our many digital skills workshops, offered most weeks throughout the term. These hands-on sessions teach students essential technology skills for student success. We post all workshops on the Co-Curricular Portal under Teach Me Tech Services.
