This is the third annual conference and is in response to an overwhelming number of requests to continue training and technical assistance in this format. The target audience for this conference includes division- level administrators, key technology instructional leaders, and contact persons for library media, instructional technology, distance learning, administrative data processing, instructional television, and building level technology leaders.
Technology is a powerful tool that can enhance student learning and achievement.
The Six-Year Educational Technology Plan for Virginia and local division technology plans provide a vision for effective teaching using technology in the classroom. Keynote sessions at the conference will feature several prominent national speakers. Mr. Fred D'Ignazio, renowned educational computing author and consultant, will conduct numerous feature sessions on the successful use of technology in classrooms. Each of your division's technology contacts will receive very soon an announcement of the conference along with registration information from Virginia Tech's Office of Continuing Education. This conference is an opportunity for your division's technology leaders to share in an experience designed to motivate thinking and discussion about how we can use technology more effectively to help teachers teach and students learn.
