Register for this FREE virtual conference on November 17, 11am-7pmET, for the opportunity to network with some of the greatest names in edtech. Participate in scheduled chats on how you are solving real-world problems in your schools every day – from integrating mobile devices into the classroom, to deciding whether or not to filter, to getting those reluctant educators beyond “why tech” – all with the goal of creating good pedagogy and engaged learning.
At the top of each hour, you'll have the chance to watch a brief video in the auditorium by one or more of our headliners, raising key issues that they're hoping to discuss with you. Then, chat live with these leaders and other innovative educators in the Networking Center about your school’s unique challenges. Chats will be held throughout the day in the three Tech & Learning Pavilions: Curriculum, Leadership, and IT.
