Educational Technology at IU13

It is so hard to believe that we are already past the first week of May!  This Spring time is dashing away quickly as we look forward to the end of the school year.  There is still a lot to be done although it seems that May is on the fast track for everyone. As we bring this school year to a close, we have one more Tech Integrator/Media Specialists Mtg on the 20th, from 8:30-12:00 that you will not want to miss!

In case you missed our meeting this morning, we wanted to make sure that you could watch the announcements and experience the first session provided by our guest speaker, Richard Byrne. Richard walked us through a Celebration of Discovery, Discussion, and Demonstration. We were encouraged in our continual path of technology integration as well as challenged to continue carrying the torch helping to lead educational transformation one step at a time. We are pleased to announce that Richard Byrne will serve as our Keynote Speaker for our Elementary Technology Conference on Dec. 9, 2014.  Check out the meeting agenda for the day and the video below.

April not only ushers in Spring, but it also has some great activities planned for all IMS members.  There are several events going on that you do not want to miss this month!

We are very pleased to announce that Richard Byrne is going to be our guest speaker/presenter at our April 22, 2014 Tech Integrator/Media Specialist Meeting.  This is one presentation that you don't want to miss!

With all the recent weather events and PETE & C, it seems like it has been a really long time since we have all been able to meet.  I am really looking forward to getting together for our next meeting on March 18, 2014 from 8:30-11:30 am.  In addition to sharing some IMS information for everyone, our March meeting agenda encompasses two additional speakers, Karen Oberly from IU13 Tech Services, and Greg Palmer the Executive Director from MAGPI.  Karen will share information regarding the Microsoft EES Agreement Highlights/Benefits and provide a Computer Fair update.  Greg is going to provide an overview of Internet 2 and MAGPI.  If you have not visited MAGPI lately, you will not want to miss this informative session.  In addition, Lyn Hilt from ELANCO, has some exciting PLC information to share with all of us during our meeting together.
