The winter season brings a lot of Ed Tech Conferences and this year is no exception! Ed Tech Conferences are GREAT and many are easy to attend (they’re FREE and on Saturdays or online)! There are always lots of great ideas, info and tips! Best of all conferences are a great way to meet incredible people outside of our district and build professional networks! It’s always fun to realize how many people want to hear about OUESD and the amazing things happening in our classrooms! Conferences are optional and of course there’s no pressure to attend. But I’ve never regretted attending one!
- At the Fall CUE Conference, many of the presenters shared their slide decks. When you have a spare minute, check out some of the fantastic Fall CUE presentations– there’s some really great info here!
- This past weekend, I was a presenter at the CA STEAM Symposium in San Francisco. There were lots of great presentations shared there too.
While we’re talking about conferences, consider these FREE events coming soon~
