Technology is a valuable and relevant tool in the classroom that helps engage students to question, think and achieve at a higher understanding. What tech tools do you use to reach and teach your students and make learning relevant?

METC 2009 is bringing together a diverse group of speakers to share their knowledge, experience, strategies and expertise using established and emerging technologies in the classroom. As educators we must prepare our students for new jobs that have not been created by giving them the skills to question, gather, evaluate and finally produce new solutions or products. Technology is a tool that excites and engages students to learn.

METC 2009 goals:

  • Offers a program that shares effective instructional technology programs and management strategies.
  • Brings together all stakeholders in a school district to explore new and innovative uses of technology and to learn from each other.
  • Designs a program that fits into educators’ individual learning plans and aligns with high quality professional development.
  • Exposes educators to the latest in quality products and services.
To reach programming goals, METC 2009 invites teachers, media specialists, administrators, technical support and other education-minded people who have effective instructional technology programs and management strategies to share their methods, plans and successes. Presenter applications/ proposals are due to CSD by August 11, 2008.  Conference registration will open in the fall.        

The Midwest Education Technology Conference is January 26, 27, 28 2009 at St. Charles Convention Center.
