With the seemingly impossible job of creating meaningful technology training opportunities for teachers and staff who are pressed for time, Tuloso-Midway ISD in Corpus Christi, Texas developed a “Teaching with Technology Day” which has become their very own district-wide technology conference. Teachers have conference bags, programs, many sessions from which to choose, and most importantly, the opportunity to learn from their fellow teachers what technology integration really looks like in the classroom. Having just completed their fifth such conference, they have developed a step-by-step guide that can be used to plan a technology conference in any district.
