ETC! 2017

Designed for admins or aspiring admins who may not be comfortable talking tech with teachers, parents, students, etc. Addresses issues like how to work with a staff member who asks, "How come I can't just let my students use XXXX?" and "I saw XXXX in another district and I want to get the same for my students. Can you buy me some?" Provides some background on the business side of tech for folks who aren't in that world, so they can have informed conversations. Provides some ideas about who to consult when reviewing potential programs/purchases/adoptions. No, it won't be as dry as it sounds...

Come hear updates and lessons learned on our K-12 1:1 mobile device deployment journey with Chromebooks. Learn how we are working with district/site leadership to help teachers stay focused on the “main thing” which is the instruction of students and not let the technology rule the classroom. We will also share some “nuggets” we have learned along the way.

Three principals from elementary and junior high sites provide testimonials, publications, professional development, and tips to how they transformed their campuses into 21st century learning environments and reinvented themselves in the process. Administrators and teacher leaders would benefit most from attending this session.

Learn how to place accessible design principles in the hands of classroom creators to promote empathy, knowledge, and skills making learning accessible to all, starting with captions.
