Educational Technology at IU13

We had an amazing week last week celebrating both our Elementary and Secondary Technology Conferences at Lancaster-Lebanon IU13! We had over 350 k-12 educators participate and over 74 sessions running between the two days.  Keynote Drew Minock opened our world to Virtual Reality use in education! Participants had the opportunity to explore and discover in our AR/VR/QR room.  In addition, participants were given the opportunity to participate in our first ever ETC Edcamp and STC Edcamp sessions where they explored like-minded topics of interest in an unconference format. A special thank you to all the committee members who made all these special events possible! If you participated in our ETC16 or STC16 this year, please let us know your reflections in the comments section below.  Check out the journey from the twittersphere below:

Registration is now open for both our Elementary Technology (ETC) AND Secondary Technology (STC) Conferences coming up on Dec. 6th and 7th 2016.  All sessions were just recently published so you can take a look to see what might interest you in attending our conferences this year.  We are offering over 36 sessions for our ETC and over 33 sessions for our STC this year so there is something for everyone!

How is it that I feel like I was just sitting down to blog about getting ready for this year's Elementary and Secondary Technology Conferences and they are already over?  What an amazing two days we experienced at Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13! Both Conferences we an amazing success due to outstanding presenters and very hard working committee members.  

Tonight feels a little like Christmas Eve, full of anticipation and excitement for what tomorrow brings.  In my case, tomorrow brings the Elementary Technology Conference and the following day, the Secondary Technology Conference.  As I am writing this blog post, my phone is lighting up with registered participants tweeting their excitement for what's coming the next two days with thoughts of learning, growing, and collaborating.
