The Technology in Education Conference and Expo brings together experts, educators and vendors with classroom technology experience

to generate excitement about how these tools can be used to further students’ educational goals. Join in the conversation, collaboration,

and networking and learn about the exciting work that educators locally, nationally, and world-wide are doing to create synergy between technology and curriculum. As we move forward with exploring virtual schools, and implementing the Common Core and teacher evaluation

systems, this is an ideal time to focus on integrating technology with curriculum. No matter your role in education,

you’ll walk away with tools and ideas that you can use immediately with your students!
