TechForum NY, a great educational technology conference, is tomorrow. I am presenting two sessions and looking forward to seeing a lot of people from my PLN.
For those of you not going, you can join in on the LiveStream of some of the sessions tomorrow. Check out the information below on how to join us live.
Tech Forum is Doing It Live!
Tune in this Friday, October 19 to Tech Forum Live Online, Tech & Learning's live broadcast stream direct from Tech Forum New York. Join this preeminent group of education leaders as they tackle some of the most pressing, and promising, issues for today's schools. Watch up to three sessions as they happen and even participate with a live chat session.
The schedule includes:
- Tools for Education Professionals - 9:30-10:40 am
Presenters: David Andrade, Sal Contes and Nancy Caramanico
Looking for the best apps and Web 2.0 tools for planning, communicating, and building your own learning community? Dubious about tweeting or social networking as professional endeavors? Our panelists will share their favorite productivity tools for teachers and administrators and then invite you to do the same.
- Flipping the Classroom (roundtable discussion) - 1:30-2:20 pm
Join Marianthe Williams and Lorraine Brooks, and a team of innovative educators for a discussion on flipping the classroom.
- BYO: Goals, Policies, and Logistics - 2:30-3:40 pm
Presenters: Nancy Caramanico (moderator); Sandra Paul, Rick Cave and Rob Miller
Whether you call it BYOT, BYOD, or student-owned technology, the idea of allowing young people to bring their own laptops and mobile devices to school with them is gaining ground for a number of reasons. We've asked three different districts to talk about their BYO programs, explaining how and why they've chosen this course and responding to a series of questions concerning equity, policy-setting and technical challenges.
Simply visit this link during those times, tune in and participate. You can submit questions to the presenters using the Livestream chat feature. It's the next best thing to being there! |
