Back by popular demand, both conferences will highlight sessions specifically for administrators!  

We need your expertise and would like you to share how you integrate technology in your classroom in order to personalize learning. Or, are you an administrator who is willing to share how you leverage technology leadership in your buildings?  We are looking for elementary and secondary teachers and administrators who are willing to present a 50 minute session spotlighting your technology integration passions.

We are accepting session proposals through the end of September 2016 so we can have the conference schedules posted by mid October 2016. All primary presenters will receive a complimentary registration for the conference (1 presenter per a session).

We would love to hear how you are customizing learning for students through leveraging the use of technology in your classrooms.  Session proposals fill up fast, so don't delay in posting your session ideas below!
