Virtual
October 6, 2020
Interactive and Collaborative Spaces to Discuss New Learning Models, Digital Safety Outside the Classroom, & Student Achievement
With school districts opting for hybrid learning models or complete remote learning for the beginning of the academic school year, the need for continued support and tools is imperative to the success of student achievement. Many questions continue to arise and districts are in need of urgent solutions. Edu-Tech & Edu-Tech Academics bring together technology and curriculum leaders with industry to collaborate and unite during crisis.
The Edu-Tech & Edu-Tech Academics Summit is a virtual conference focused on the evolving conversation regarding school reopening plans in a COVID-19 world. The discussion will continue to change how educational institutions and communities are able to reinvent and adapt post quarantine as well as share ideas and learn from each other to plan for what’s next.
Our goal is to deliver an experience that is engaging and highly participatory through enlightening keynote presentations and small group roundtables. We are providing a platform to join your tech and curriculum peers fromdistricts across the country that are also facing a similar battle. Share your stories and collaborate in creative problem-solving to tackle issues we are all facing in light of the pandemic.
