Keynote: Better Together ~ Teachers, Students & Technology

To increase student learning and engagement in an increasingly digital age, the implementation of technology is a critical step in the 21st century classroom. With so many new apps and devices at our disposal, the hardest part of incorporating technology into daily lessons is trying to figure out where to start. Teachers cannot do this alone. They must rely on their fellow educators and their students to drive lessons to the next level. Joe will help you discover how technology can transform your daily lessons, communication with students and help you take control of the Common Core. Come and see why teachers, students and technology are “better together.”
