2013 National Conference Schedule
This premier educational event will help you lead the education revolution in your school and across your district as we will explore
* how students (and teachers) become mobile learners,
* how teachers and principals can lead the revolution from the middle, and
* how teachers can build a community of learners within their classroom and throughout the school.
Over 90 breakout sessions will help teachers, principals and superintendents embrace new project-based learning concepts, seamlessly integrate today's technology into lesson planning, and hold both students and teachers accountable for developing a learning environment that meets students' individual needs.
