iPad is changing the way students learn and educators teach. Powerful creative tools, interactive textbooks, and a universe of apps and educational resources make for endless learning possibilities. Join us to get an understanding of how iPad and digital learning experiences are transforming learning and teaching.
Research tells us that humans are by-far visual learners, with more than 90% of information processed visually. Let's get VISUAL with web-based tools and #spark some ideas for student-created formative assessments that will have you seeing critical creativity within your curriculum. Looking to flip some learning and create your own video tutorials? We’ll leverage the magic of the interwebs to truly up your #eduINFOmercial game!
The influx of technology is changing the landscape of education. I like to draw the comparison between technology in education, and the embracing of it, to a train that is leaving the station. Technology is NOT going away and we need to decide whether or not we are going to get onboard this moving Tech Train, or be left at the station. While curriculum, pedagogy and best practices are still the conductors, it’s no longer acceptable to ignore the partnership that must coexist between these areas and technology.
Come and join Wisconsinite, and Texan Card holder, Michael Jaber for a passionate and entertaining opening to the Engage Technology Conference!

Ultimately, the greatest impact of technology on the learning process occurs when teachers and students modify and redefine teaching and learning.

You’ll leave with a better vocabulary and understanding for talking about technology integration with faculty, students, and the school community.
